The Quantum Technologies MSc will take students to the cutting-edge of research in the emerging area of quantum technologies, giving them not only an advanced training in the relevant physics but also the chance to acquire key skills in the engineering and information sciences. Students learn the language and techniques of advanced quantum mechanics, quantum information theory and quantum computation, as well as state-of-the-art implementation with condensed matter and quantum optical systems. Applicants have typically taken coursework which covers the pre-requisite topics listed in the Advanced Quantum Theory course. Sometimes students from non-physics backgrounds (computer science, engineering, mathematics) who have done exceptionally well in their course, are able to demonstrate proficiency in quantum theory in other ways, in which case this should be fully documented. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
In addition to core modules, Students will study some optional modules.

The MSc programme culminates in the quantum technologies project and attached case studies. All students undertake two case studies related to quantum technologies as well as an independent research project (experimental or theoretical), which will be the subject of a presentation and a dissertation of 10,000-15,000 words. Research-active supervisors will provide topics which will enable the students to make contributions to research in the field.
A fee deposit will be charged at 2.5 percent of the first year fee.
