About this course

Combine physics with the emerging field of quantum science and technologies. The technologies you'll explore range from quantum computing and telecommunication to gravity sensors.

Quantum systems are usually in the nanoscale and created, interrogated, and studied using light. Therefore, you'll cover quantum science and quantum optics, nanoscience, quantum information theory, and light and lasers.

You’ll be taught by academics who are making advances in this area. Our academics are specialists in quantum computing and information, quantum interactions of light and matter, Bose-Einstein condensation, lasers and photonics and nanoscience.

You’ll study in our clean rooms for fabrication at the atomic level and use our rooftop observatory. We're also home to the Optoelectronics Research Centre, which is one of the world’s leading institutes for photonics research.

• Gain a thorough grounding in the theories of physics and astronomy
• Study the concepts of quantum information, cryptography, photonics, and nanoscience
• Develop problem-solving skills to test theories of physics
• Write an individual dissertation
• Carry out an extended research project
