Faculty of Physics
Welcome to the website of the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw
The Faculty of Physics is a large research and teaching center. It consists of The Institutes of Theoretical Physics, Experimental Physics, Geophysics, The Astronomical Observatory and The Department of Mathematical Methods in Physics.
The Faculty is regarded as one of the best in the country, recognized internationally for the high quality of research and education.
News
The international research team led by Prof. Grzegorz Pietrzyński from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw (AOUW) has published a fascinating paper in the prestigious journal Nature, reporting surprising findings about a unique binary star system near the centre of the Milky Way.
Photons with precisely specified properties are indispensable to nearly all experiments in quantum optics as well as in a growing number of its applications. Scientists from the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw have constructed a device which makes the generation of such photons easier and less expensive.Upcoming events
