Applied Physics-Quantum and Nanotechnology, MS

    Program Description

    The Applied Physics Master’s in Quantum and Nanotechnology aims to build experimental skills needed for the rapidly growing quantum industry (quantum computing / quantum sensing / quantum networking) and its adjacent Nanotechnology industries (Microwave Devices, Integrated Photonics, MEMS/NEMS).

    We believe graduate education should equip you with the skills that allow you to excel in your career: technical expertise, hands-on experience and professional skills (including communication, leadership, and teamwork). Students gain these skills through focused coursework and labs, integrated professional development, and a nine-month paid internship.

    Prerequisites

    Physics bachelor’s degree is not required, although having one is a plus. We welcome applicants who have other STEM degrees to apply. Demonstrating the successful completion of at least one undergraduate quantum mechanics class is expected, but applicants who have not will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
