New Master in Quantum Science and Technology in Barcelona

Leading universities and research institutes in the Barcelona area announce the launch of a new Master in Quantum Science and Technology.

 

The program is aimed at graduates in Physics, Physical Engineering or equivalent degrees who want to continue specialization studies in Quantum Science and Technologies. The Master gives access to cutting-edge theoretical and experimental research in the fields of quantum sensing, communication, computing and simulation.

Professor Bruno Julia, researcher of the QuantumCAT project QUASI-CAT and coordinator of the Master in the Quantum Science and Technology program notes, “Quantum physics will play a major role in the next future developments in our capacity to compute, communicate, and measure with precision. A solid education in Quantum sciences will be a crucial asset to both pushes the boundaries of our knowledge and also to develop new industrial products profiting from the intricate quantum properties. This master is the seed for a quantum future.”

Direct connections to the industry through the QuantumCAT community, and the participation of high-tech companies in the teaching program and an annual careers symposium, will facilitate the future integration of students in both academic and industrial sectors.

Professor Morgan Mitchell, QuantumCAT coordinator, adds, “Quantum technology is growing rapidly in Catalonia, with universities, research centres, startup companies and established industrials all working to bring about the second quantum revolution. QuantumCAT, strongly supports the creation of the Master in QST, as a way to boost the skilled workforce in this dynamic industry. We look forward to working with MQST students and graduates.”

Coordinated by the University of Barcelona, it has the participation of the Polytechnic University of Barcelona and its Barcelona School of Telecommunications Engineering and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, the Catalan Institute for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2); the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) and the High Energy Physics Institute (IFAE) are the participating research centres.
