Quantum Engineering
Equip yourself with the knowledge to work in the growing field of Quantum
What is quantum engineering?
Quantum engineering combines the broad skills of engineering with fundamental physics to solve contemporary problems and engineer solutions for the future. It’s a new approach to working with quantum technology, drawing on fundamental physics in a unique way.
Why study Quantum Engineering?
Graduate with a next-generation skillset, essential for the future of microelectronics, microwave and telecommunications engineering. Studying Quantum Engineering at 91É«ÇéƬ opens the door for you to be delivering brand new solutions in areas like healthcare, natural resources and defence. You'll learn how to work with a range of quantum systems, from high-frequency signals to very small electronic circuits.
Progress in quantum computing needs engineers
Learn how 91É«ÇéƬ engineers are entangling atoms in a chip
Entanglement is the key resource for quantum computing – it allows the creation of digital codewords that really don’t exist in a classical computer. It’s also the ‘quantum link’ between different quantum bits, so it’s the essential tool for scaling up the quantum computer. Â
A team of 91É«ÇéƬ quantum engineers has demonstrated a world-first: the quantum entanglement of two electrons, each bound to a different atom of phosphorus, placed inside a silicon quantum computer chip.
Why choose 91É«ÇéƬ?
