"summary": "This Masters in Quantum Technology will provide training in the emerging area of quantum technologies, giving students advanced training in the relevant physics and engineering, while acquiring key skills in micro/nanofabrication. This MSc is underpinned by Glasgow leadership in the UK’s Quantum Technology programme. The subjects taught in this programme are the relevant science behind many of the global challenges – in energy, environment, materials, and security – identified as major themes for interdisciplinary research in the 21st century. The programme is ideal if you are keen to pursue a professional career or research in Quantum Technologies.\n\n**WHY THIS PROGRAMME**\n\nThis programme equips students with an interdisciplinary perspective of the physics and engineering skills needed in the field of quantum technologies.\nThis MSc will be underpinned by the one of the four quantum technology hubs within the UK (QuantIC). The university also hosts the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre, the UK's premier academic cleanroom for device micro/nanofabrication.\nThe School of Physics & Astronomy is leading international work on quantum measurement devices for precision science, on development and application of quantum algorithms and quantum machine-learning, and measurements of quantum entanglement in particle-physics. The James Watt School of Engineering hosts the Centre for Quantum Technology, with research themes across quantum computing, imaging and communications.\nThe university is a globally recognised centre of excellence for quantum science and technology. Its researchers and facilities lie at the heart of the UK National Quantum Technology Programme (NQTP), which has seen a £1b investment since its inception in 2014. Our university leads QuantIC, the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Imaging and it is contributing to all four Quantum Technology Hubs in the UK programme, covering quantum computing; simulation, communication, sensing and imaging.\nQuantum technologies such as photonics and nanotechnology are key strengths in Scotland, which is home to high-performing research-intensive universities and a highly innovative, international and entrepreneurial technology cluster.\nYou will have the opportunity to engage with companies at the forefront of Quantum Technology activities within the UK and worldwide. Some MSc projects may also be available that are co-supervised with industry. The Glasgow-led Quantum Technology hub (QuantIC) has engagement with over 50 companies in the UK/worldwide.\nThe School has an Athena Swan Silver Award, demonstrating the School’s support for women in scientific studies and careers, and to improve the working environment for all.\n\n**PROGRAMME STRUCTURE**\n\nModes of delivery of the MSc in Quantum Technology include lectures, tutorials, seminars, laboratory practical classes, small group supervisions and private study. In the final part of the programme, you will undertake a research project which will be supervised by a member of staff who works within the area of quantum technologies. This extended project will give an opportunity to be embedded into a research group, working at the cutting edge of their particular field.\n\nEach course is assessed separately; assessment methods include written examinations, verbal and written reports of practical/project work, multiple choice questions, oral and poster presentations of project work.\n\n**Core courses**\nQuantum Theory (10 credits, semester 1)\nExperimental Techniques in Quantum Optics (10 credits, semester 1)\nIntroduction to Research In Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (10 credits, semester 1)\nQuantum Information (10 credits, semester 2)\nAdvanced Data Analysis For Physics And Astronomy (10 credits, semester 2)\nQuantum Electronic Devices M (20 credits, semester 2)\nQuantum Materials M (10 credits, semester 2)\n\nMSc project, either:\nMSc Project in Physics, or\nMSc Project in Engineering\n\nPlease visit the course page on our website for information on optional courses.",
