Master of theoretical physics in Europe: ETH vs. ENS vs. LMU

In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of theoretical physics and the universities ETH Zurich, Ecole Normale Superieure, and Ludwig Maximilian University. The individual is interested in the not-so-much-quantum part of theoretical physics and is seeking input on potential programs and universities in Europe. They mention being interested in complex systems, thermodynamics, and biophysics, and receive a recommendation for Freie Universität Berlin's research in biophysics.

Could you please elaborate on their programmes and/or how they compare against one another ?

I seem to be interested in the not-so-much-quantum part of theoretical physics, but any input will be very appreciated.

What is the not-so-much-quantum part? General relativity?

I don't know those universities, but topic you want to focus on is important for that decision.

At the moment I find complex systems and thermodynamics interesting. Biophysics seem nice too. Do you know some good places for these in Europe ?
