Best Quantum and Particle physics universities in Germany [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in Germany ranked based on their research performance in Quantum and Particle physics. A graph of 47.3M citations received by 1.56M academic papers made by 164 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.
