Program Overview

Exploration of quantum phenomena has recently led to extraordinary applications of quantum entanglement. The degree of control exerted over these systems is reflected in the term ‘quantum technology’, describing both experimental and theoretical developments in this area.

This course is for you if you’re interested in the wonders of quantum physics and have a desire to exploit its full power. Our research lies at the forefront of realising next generation quantum technologies – from quantum information processing, through quantum sensors and clocks to creating the quantum internet.

We cover:

• ion-trap quantum processors
• ion-photon interfaces for the projected quantum internet
• quantum simulators
• superconducting quantum circuits
• devices for quantum-enhanced metrology
• photonic devices for quantum systems.

CAREERS

This course may be attractive to you if you aim to:

• go on to doctoral study (theory or experiment)
• work in a high-technology company exploiting cutting-edge technologies related to our research (this could involve development of quantum information technology, high-precision measurements and quantum metrology, and photonics/optical communications)
• work in business/data analysis, research, computer programming, software development, or teaching.
