Atomic and Molecular physics in Germany: Best universities Ranked

Below is a list of best universities in Germany ranked based on their research performance in Atomic and Molecular physics. A graph of 6.23M citations received by 186K academic papers made by 79 universities in Germany was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
