World's best Quantum and Particle physics universities [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in the World ranked based on their research performance in Quantum and Particle physics. A graph of 655M citations received by 29.2M academic papers made by 6,157 universities in the World 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.
