This program is the first of its kind in Australia, offering a unique mix of fundamental and applied physics to prepare you for a career in the growing field of quantum technology.

It builds on the outstanding quantum science for which UQ is internationally renowned.

Building on your existing technical qualifications in engineering, computer science or mathematics, you will develop a foundation in the principles of quantum physics.

You will study advanced topics in quantum physics and quantum information, and gain research-level experience in leading experimental labs.

You will graduate with a combination of high-level technical skills, a capacity for creative problem solving in a high-tech environment, and the ability to apply quantum physics theory to research projects in a laboratory setting.

As technology companies worldwide race to join the emerging second quantum revolution, you will graduate as a highly skilled and sought-after specialist equipped to collaborate on solving key industry problems in communications, simulators, sensors and computing.
