PhD in Physics With Concentration in Quantum Information Science
We offer the PhD degree in Physics with a Concentration in Quantum Information Science (QIS).
To earn the degree a student follows the same sequence of core courses as the standard PhD in Physics, but different elective requirements.
It requires a minimum of 48 semester hours of graduate work exclusive of dissertation. These hours must include:
- PHYS 466, 505, 511, 521, 522
- "Introduction to Quantum Information Science" (Special Topics: PHYS 480/581 and ECE 595).
- Two elective courses chosen from:
- PHYS 566 (Quantum Optics)
- 571 (Quantum Computation)
- 572 (Quantum Information Theory)
- 581 (Special Topics: Quantum Optics II)
- 581 (Special Topics: Open Quantum Systems)
- ECE 595 (Special topics: Quantum Error Correction)
- ECE 595 (Special topics: Quantum Communication)
- CHE 471/587 (Special Topics: QC2: Quantum Computing for Quantum Chemistry)
- One additional approved elective from the list approved for the PhD in Physics or from the above listed electives
