Quantum mechanics is the scientific framework that describes how particles and energy behave at atomic and subatomic levels. For a century, this theory has proven exceptionally accurate in explaining phenomena at microscopic scales. Today, controlling quantum systems enables us to harness unique properties like superposition, paving the way for transformative advances in communication, information processing, and data storage while fostering groundbreaking technological innovations - collectively termed quantum technology.
This Master's program emphasizes the theoretical foundations and computational aspects of quantum technology, offering a distinctive combination of quantum information science, quantum hardware physics, and quantum materials research. Students will acquire essential skills, including quantum computer programming, while connecting with peers passionate about advancing their expertise in this field.
Throughout the academic year, industry experts from multinational corporations, SMEs, and emerging quantum startups will share insights about current research and development. These engagements will help students grasp real-world challenges confronting the quantum technology sector.
Admission to the course is competitive. Applicants will be expected to have an Honours Bachelor degree at 2.1 or above in a physics, mathematics, computer science or engineering degree (or equivalent). Applicants with lower than a 2.1 will be considered on a case by case basis by the Dean of Graduate Studies. In case of heavy competition for places or concerns regarding a particular applicant’s suitability, applicants may be interviewed online.
