South Pole PC Room

The Südpol computer lab is a resource offered by the Department students and faculty. The lab enables a targeted expansion of course content to include IT-related areas such as the use of online libraries, databases, software libraries, and other information services. In addition, IT-related courses—such as introductions to theoretical physics, numerical methods in plasma physics, or object-oriented programming—are being continued with significantly modernized equipment. Furthermore, the room is available to students for creating study-related documents and provides internet access.

The design and implementation of the physics department’s multimedia seminar room were the result of an initiative by H. Fichtner, G. Hornig, and B. Neubacher (Theoretical Physics Section), in collaboration with U. Arendt and T. Cleve. The project was funded by the Office of the President and the Department  Physics and Astronomy.
