Minor in Quantum Sciences and Technology

In response to the explosion of research, development, investment, and employment opportunities in quantum information science taking place across academia, national labs, and private industry, the Georgia Tech School of Physics is now offering a new Minor in Quantum Sciences and Technology. The minor program is open to all Georgia Tech students, regardless of major, who are interested in learning more about:

• Quantum Information Theory
• Applications of Quantum Information to Measurement Science
• Quantum Materials
• Quantum Computation
• Quantum Algorithms
• Quantum Communication

or any other quantum science related topics. For students majoring in math, chemistry, computer science, electrical engineering, or math, this offers a great foundation in quantum physics and applications to quantum information science for those students interested in graduate study or employment in burgeoning quantum industries. For physics students, the minor provides a breadth of applied knowledge, again aimed at students looking to move into this rapidly growing, interdisciplinary field.
