Program Description

The Optical Sciences MS - Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) subplan is a national model in QISE education, designed to train a transdisciplinary workforce -- spanning Engineering, Computer Science, Physics and Math -- while exposing students to the social, ethical, and legal implications of QI technology. The goal of the QISE emphasis is to develop an interdisciplinary quantum education plan for this growing area of study, to build up the quantum workforce. The curriculum will combine tailored courses in quantum mechanics, information theory, computer science, optics and materials, algorithms, and communications system engineering with experiential courses in law and social sciences, and laboratory courses.

The skills associated with the QISE program are in high demand with industry partners. Unique to the program is a balance across theoretical and hands-on experience, with opportunities to work with an array of quantum equipment. The emphasis includes a set of required courses, a set of elective courses (to include cross-listed clinical and experiential courses in law and social sciences) and laboratory courses.  Electives can be chosen in discussion with academic or research advisors, from courses not listed formally as part of this sub plan, as long as the student’s course plan adheres to the program objectives.
