Broad in scope, highly diverse, and yet always attendant to the most fundamental aspects of the physical world, physics spans vast ranges in space, time, energy, and other dimensions of nature. Physics encompasses two mutually supporting perspectives: theoretical and experimental. Physics students at Lawrence actively engage in both areas. Theoretical physics involves the invention and exploration of models and theories of nature, while experimental physics entails investigation of physical systems and provides evaluation and refinement of theory. Increasingly, computation plays a substantial and crucial supporting role in both arenas. While course work is an important component of the Lawrence physics major, the physics program encourages extensive involvement beyond the curriculum. Majors participate in independent studies, pursue research objectives, and serve as assistants in introductory laboratories. They are issued keys to various spaces within the department to encourage collaborative intellectual engagements.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Physics and Applied Physics Program combines the traditional elements of a science doctoral program with courses in specifically applied topics and internship in a technological environment. It is designed to produce highly trained professionals with a broad perspective of the subject which may prepare them equally well for careers in academic or in government or industrial laboratories. Current research in the department is predominantly in the areas of condensed matter physics, materials science, and high-energy physics and includes a wide range of theoretical work in solid state physics and experimentation in laser physics, optics, positron physics, solid state and surface physics, and high-energy physics.

For as long as the world has had physicists inquiring into the laws of nature, it has suffered a special ignorance about disorder in the atmosphere, in the fluctuations of the wildlife populations, in the oscillations of the heart and the brain.

Extractions: The quantisation of chaotic systems based on the Gutzwiller trace formula requires to take all periodic orbits of the classical system into account. For the example of the truncated hyperbola billiard it is shown in [9] that in certain systems nonperiodic orbits yield important contributions to the quantum mechanical density of states. The truncated hyperbola billiard is being studied experimentally by A. Richter et al. in Darmstadt. In cooperation with the experimental physicists, a comparison between theory and experiment is currently being made. [2] Aurich, R., Bolte, J., Steiner, F.: Universal Signatures of Quantum Chaos.

Extractions: Chaos is an advanced field of mathematics that involves the study of dynamical systems or systems in motion. Chaos Theory consists of the mathematical proofs and theories that attempt to describe processes in motion. Think of any mathematical system that changes over time, such as the weather, the stock market, or the genetic distribution of a population.

Extractions: Prof. Leonard Kahn 's research has spanned several areas. His early work involved the study of the surfaces of solids. Specifically, he studied the chemisorption of alkalis on metal surfaces. The technique that was used was the density functional formalism. He used this formalism to study hydrogen in metals, as well as defects in metals. The main thrust of the work was to calculate the electric field gradient in these imperfect materials. His attention then changed to the study of the optical properties of one dimensional conductors, such as TTF-TCNQ. These calculations led to the investigation of acoustic plasmons in one dimensional conductors. He then tackled the problem of superconductivity in the A-15 materials, looking for an alternative mechanism to explain their high temperature transition. Prof. Chuck Kaufman works in theoretical physics, specializing in weak interactions, quantum electrodynamics, chaos, and turbulant media. Prof. Alex Meyerovich

Jules Henri Poincaré [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] His research on the stability of the solar system opened the door Poincaré sketcheda preliminary version of the special theory of chaos and the Solar System. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/p/poincare.htm
Extractions: Life Poincaré was born on April 29,1854 in Nancy and died on July 17, 1912 in Paris. Poincaré's family was influential. His cousin Raymond was the President and the Prime Minister of France, and his father Leon was a professor of medicine at the University of Nancy. His sister Aline married the spiritualist philosopher Emile Boutroux. Poincaré studied mining engineering, mathematics and physics in Paris. Beginning in 1881, he taught at the University of Paris. There he held the chairs of Physical and Experimental Mechanics, Mathematical Physics and Theory of Probability, and Celestial Mechanics and Astronomy. Poincaré sketched a preliminary version of the special theory of relativity and stated that the velocity of light is a limit velocity and that mass depends on speed. He formulated the principle of relativity, according to which no mechanical or electromagnetic experiment can discriminate between a state of uniform motion and a state of rest, and he derived the Lorentz transformation. His fundamental theorem that every isolated mechanical system returns after a finite time [the Poincaré Recurrence Time] to its initial state is the source of many philosophical and scientific analyses on entropy. Finally, he clearly understood how radical is quantum theory's departure from classical physics.
