MPhys Physics with Quantum Science and Technologies

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 nano science. 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. As part of this course you'll: 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 Flagship degrees If you’re a high-performing student, you may also be invited to join one of our flagship programmes. These are 4-year, MPhys courses, where you can pursue a cutting-edge research project here or abroad, or with a local industrial partner: Physics with Industrial Placement Physics with Year of Experimental Research Physics offers an academic scholarship worth up to £20,000, based on submission of a short essay and an interview at one of our applicant visit days.
