Postgraduate Program in Quantum Engineering

Description

The Postgraduate Program in Quantum Engineering of UPC School, is a program designed to train professionals specialized in quantum technologies and their applications. The postgraduate program equips students with comprehensive competencies in quantum physics, quantum information theory, quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum cybersecurity, preparing them to implement and develop projects based on quantum technologies across multiple sectors.

This program responds to the growing demand for specialized professionals in a field of accelerated technological transformation. Quantum engineering refers to the development of technology based on quantum physics, that is, the physical laws that describe the world at microscopic scale. The mathematical framework provided by quantum information theory, together with experimental advances in preparation and manipulation of very small-sized systems, has opened the way toward the second quantum revolution that announces radical changes in technology. Quantum applications have the potential to offer new and better methods to solve major challenges.

Thanks to their great data processing capacity, challenges in communications, computing, cybersecurity, detection or simulations can be solved faster and more efficiently with quantum computing. They are expected to have special impact in areas such as chemistry, materials science, biology, medicine, artificial intelligence and machine learning. In Europe there is growing demand for engineers specifically trained to apply quantum physics laws to technological applications. The postgraduate program is aimed at engineers, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists and ICT professionals interested in this rapidly evolving field that announces breakthrough changes.
