Master Programme in Physics, Quantum Science and Technology

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: NAFYK

<p>The programme in quantum information science and technology offers a general physics education with particular focus on the rapidly developing field of quantum science from both a theoretical and experimental perspective.</p><p>Understanding quantum theory leads to fundamental insights about the physical world and the fact that quantum systems can be used to manipulate information processing in ways that have no counterpart in classical physics and mainstream technology.</p> <p>You will study quantum theory, physics' role in information, and its connections to major quantum technologies such as quantum computers, quantum communication, and quantum simulation. Beyond quantum mechanics, the courses cover the quantum theory of light, the theoretical aspects of information carried by quantum systems, lasers, and the physics of several important areas for quantum technology, such as superconductors, nanostructures and atoms.</p> <p>The programme has strong links to research in the many groups at Lund University working on quantum science and technology, ranging from the foundations of quantum theory to Lund Laser-Lab and Lund Nano-Lab.</p> <h2>Career prospects</h2> <p>This master programme provides a basis for several career paths. It gives you the necessary knowledge-base for pursuing a research education in either theoretical or experimental quantum information science and/or quantum technology. It also provides you with good opportunities for entering the quantum technology industry, which is on the rise both in Sweden, Europe and around the world, with increasingly many companies, both recent and long-established, aiming to develop its applications in computing, information security, simulation, sensing etc. As a graduate of this programme, you are also equipped for jobs in the non-quantum industry, for instance in programming, modeling, and data processing.</p><p>https://www.fysik.lu.se/en/master-in-quantum-science-and-technology</p>
