国际学生入学条件
Students with a bachelor's degree in physics from an established college or university normally are prepared to begin graduate studies in physics at Lehigh and are encouraged to apply. Students with degrees in related areas will also be considered, their graduate programs will be designed to make up for possible deficiencies in physics or mathematics preparation. This page provides information for those who wish to complete the application process.
We seek academically prepared and motivated students for our graduate program. Applicants should have an academic track record including courses in physics and mathematics that will prepare them for graduate-level classes and research in physics. In the evaluation process we review the details of the application, including undergraduate grade point average, performance in individual math and science classes, and the ability to grapple with complex quantitative questions. We review all elements of an application to understand a student's prior accomplishments and capability to carry out graduate-level original research in physics. We seek students from a range of backgrounds and perspectives to contribute to a diverse and inclusive departmental culture. Prior experience in scientific research is a benefit, but we realize that not all undergraduates have equal access to such opportunities.
Students who have received a master's degree in physics or a closely-related area may apply to the Lehigh PhD program. There are no advantages in the admissions process to obtaining a master's degree before applying to the PhD program.
We seek well-prepared students for both the master's program and the PhD program, although the admissions criteria are not the same for both. Students who are admitted to the Lehigh master's program may choose to apply to the Lehigh PhD program once they have completed their master's work, but no additional consideration is given to such students in the application process.
The application form includes contact information for the applicant, a CV, a personal statement, and other information.
Official transcripts must be submitted from each university attended, listing the type of degree and the date it was awarded. Foreign transcripts must include notarized English translations and conversion of grades to the American 4.0 grading scale.
At least three letters of recommendation are required.
The General GRE Test is required for all applicants. The Physics GRE Subject Test is not required for admission, but applicants are encouraged to take it. The exam scores must be less than 5 years old. Official GRE scores are not immediately needed as part of your application, which can instead list self-reported scores. The self-reported scores will then be verified later if you are offered admission. At that point you will be required to send the official GRE scores.
The TOEFL or IELTS exam is required for international applicant unless they have attened an English-language institution in the two years before applying. The exam scores must be less than 5 years old.
International applicants are required to take the TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). If you have done undergraduate or graduate studies in the United States or another English speaking country during the past two years, you are not required to take the TOEFL or IELTS. The minimum scores required on the iBT TOEFL for admittance into the College of Arts & Sciences are Writing = 25, Speaking = 24, Reading = 21, Listening = 15, with a composite score of 85. The minimum scores required on the IELTS for admittance into the College of Arts & Sciences are Writing = 6.5, Speaking = 7.5, Reading = 6.5, Listening = 6.0, with a composite score of 6.5.

课程简介
当前的研究通过对超冷原子气体的研究来研究量子多体系统的物理学。主题包括超流,自旋和热传输以及强相互作用费米气体的热力学。实验利用激光冷却和光阱来产生量子简并的原子气体,并利用定制的光势,射频光谱和其他技术来进行测量。研究还包括限制在狭窄光学腔内的染料介质中光子的热化和凝结。博士学位课程包括一组核心课程,包括一些高级研究生课程,这些课程提供了广泛的物理学背景,这对长期而言至关重要开设与学生研究领域相关的专业课程,以及博士学位论文的研究。在其他机构从事研究生工作的学生可以在其候选申请书中包括在其他机构进行的相
Current research investigates the physics of quantum many-body systems through studies of ultracold atomic gases. Topics include superfluidity, spin and heat transport, and thermodynamics of strongly interacting Fermi gases. Experiments employ laser cooling and optical trapping to produce quantum degenerate atomic gases, and tailored optical potentials, radiofrequency spectroscopy and other techniques to perform measurements. Research also includes thermalization and condensation of photons in dye media confined within a narrow optical cavity.The Ph D program includes a set of core courses, including some at the advanced graduate level that provide the broad background in physics that is so important in the long run, specialized courses relevant to the research area of the student, and the research for the Ph D dissertation. Students entering with graduate level work at other institutions may include relevant courses taken at the other institutions in their proposal for candidacy, which includes all their course preparation as well as the research proposal for the dissertation. The Department of Physics at Lehigh University offers programs leading to the B.A. in astronomy, the B.S. in astrophysics, and to the B.A., B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in physics, as well as a summer research program for undergraduates. Research areas include astronomy and astrophysics, atomic, molecular, and optical physics, biophysics, computational physics, condensed-matter physics, general relativity, cosmology, and string theory, high-energy and accelerator physics, nano science, non-linear optics and photonics, plasma physics, soft-condensed matter and complex fluids, and statistical physics.
