Applied Physics is a
graduate department in the School of Humanities and Sciences. It is one of
three elements — Applied Physics, Physics, and the SLAC National Accelerator
Laboratory — in the broader physics community at Stanford. The Department
emphasizes fundamental research in areas of potential technological
importance and in areas of science where a physics point of view is
particularly effective. The Department also has a tradition of inventing new
tools for science and new devices for technology. Present activities include
research in accelerator physics, atomic and molecular physics, biophysics,
condensed matter and materials physics, nanoscience and technology,
photonics, quantum information, synchrotron radiation and ultrafast science.
