[UG/MS] New PhD Program in Quantum Science and Engineering at Princeton University

The following announcement is from [Katie Gallagher – kgallagher@princeton.edu]. Please contact them directly if you have any questions.

Princeton University is accepting applications for our new PhD program in Quantum Science and Engineering, providing graduate training in a new discipline at the intersection of quantum physics and information theory. The Princeton Quantum Science and Engineering community is unique in its interdisciplinary breadth combined with foundational research in quantum information and quantum matter. The research community strongly values interdisciplinarity, collaboration, depth, and fostering a close-knit community that enables fundamental and impactful advances.

Our curriculum places students in an excellent position to build new quantum systems, discover new technological innovations, become leaders in the emergent quantum industry, and make deep, lasting contributions to quantum information science. The QSE graduate program aims to provide a strong foundation of fundamentals through a three-course core, as well as opportunities to explore the frontiers of current research through electives.

Most students enter the program with an undergraduate degree in physics, electrical engineering, computer science, chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline. When you apply, you should indicate what broad research areas (https://quantum.princeton.edu/research) you are interested in: Quantum Systems Experiment, Quantum Systems Theory, Quantum Materials Science, or Quantum Computer Science.
