Quantum Information & Computing


This interdisciplinary program covers an emerging discipline in computing and sensing that utilizes quantum theory. Students learn the fundamentals of quantum physics and how to apply its basic principles in real world technologies to solve the future challenges in the field of computing, communication, and sensing. The program covers the concepts of superposition, entanglement, quantum gates, and quantum algorithms in order to understand the difference between classical and quantum-computing in the fields of artificial intelligence, and cryptography. It also covers applications of quantum sensing in areas such as radar, lidar, photo-detection, magnetometry, and gravimetry. Students learn how to design, simulate, and test the core parts of a superconducting Qubit.
