Applied Quantum Science and Technology (MS)
Program Description
Quantum science looks at how the smallest particles of nature behave, often in ways that seem very different from our everyday world. Quantum technology takes those unusual properties and turns them into tools — like quantum computers that may one day solve problems classical computers can’t, or sensors that measure with extraordinary precision.
These technologies are especially promising for challenges that involve enormous complexity: simulating new materials or medicines, optimizing supply chains, or developing secure methods of communication. They also hold potential for advancing artificial intelligence and machine learning, where quantum computers could eventually help train models or analyze data in ways that aren’t possible today.
What You Learn
Our program is designed to give students both a solid grounding in the theory and hands-on experience with these technologies. You can learn a range of topics relevant to the field, including:
- Quantum computation and information
- Quantum programming
- The physics of quantum devices
- Quantum optics
- Quantum machine learning and AI
Graduates will be well prepared for careers in industry (such as technology companies, startups, and financial firms) as well as in research labs, government agencies, or further study in graduate programs.
