Quantum Science & Technology

Major study fields include Quantum Computing, Quantum Sensing, Quantum Simulation, Quantum Materials and Quantum Cryptography to name only a few. The research field Quantum Science & Technology is firmly grounded on the basic understanding of the principles of quantum mechanics, but also relies on developments in neighboring research areas such as mathematics, information technology, electrical engineering and chemistry. It is for this reason that the two Munich Universities – Technical University of Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich – have joined their forces to establish the interdisciplinary Master's study program “Quantum Science & Technology“ (QST). 

The study program QST goes significantly beyond the standard teaching program of quantum mechanics as in modern application of quantum technologies (Quantum2.0), the concepts of superposition and entanglement are of central importance. Owing to the complexity of the field, the study program QST aims at students which will work at the forefront of quantum science and who will expand the existing research areas in natural sciences (e.g. physics and chemistry), mathematics and engineering (e.g. computer science and electrical engineering).
