Quantum technologies are set to transform our modern world. Quantum computing, communication, and sensing will impact everything from cybersecurity to drug discovery. These technologies require us to use remarkable properties of Nature such as quantum entanglement and quantum superpositions in clever and creative ways. The MSc in Quantum Technologies will prepare you to play a leading role in this technological revolution by equipping you with deep theoretical foundations as well as practical, research-led training.
On the programme you will study quantum computing, quantum information, quantum many-body physics and quantum simulation, while developing hands-on experience with quantum hardware and software tools. The programme is taught by experts actively advancing the field in areas such as quantum computing, quantum optics, topological quantum computing, and the simulation of quantum systems on quantum platforms. .
