    Master

  • Location

    Brighton

  • Duration

    1 Year

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.

We cover:

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

About this course

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.

Graduate destinations
100% of students from the Department of Physics and Astronomy were in work or further study six months after graduating. Recent School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences graduates have gone on to roles including:

data engineer, QinetiQ
data scientist, Qbiz
laser systems engineer, Coherent.

You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree or above.
