Quantum Information Science and Technology M.S.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Upon completion of the degree, students will be able to classify problems and applications in QIST into appropriate categories, such as quantum computation, quantum simulations, quantum communication or quantum sensing.

2. Upon completion of the degree, students will be able to apply quantum mechanics to analyze and/or design quantum information processing and quantum communication protocols to solve problems.

3. Upon completion of the degree, students will be able to assemble required quantum properties of various physical systems and materials and assess how they can be used for quantum devices and information processing.

4. Upon completion of the degree, students will be able to program standard quantum algorithms and apply their combination for potential applications.

5. Upon completion of the degree, students will be able to apply experimental skills in modern scientific methods and design new experiments in QIST to perform statistical and systematic analysis of data in comparison to theory.

Notes

Graduation rates: the percent of students entering the master’s program any time during the academic year and graduating by May 31 three years later. Methodology is parallel to AAU Data Exchange doctoral completion rates and means that spring entrants have less time to complete. Average of three most recent reporting years (2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24) Years to degree: the average number of years it takes a student to complete the selected program. Average of the three most recent completion years (2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23). No Asterisk-Earnings: the median annual earnings of graduates in the selected program at the master’s degree level based on the 2-digit CIP code at 1, 5 and 10 years after graduation. U.S. Census, Postsecondary Enrollment Outcomes Explorer. Degree completers from 2001-2018 in 2020 dollars. Asterisk- Earnings: the median annual earnings of graduates in the selected program at the master’s degree level at 1, 5 and 10 years after graduation. SUNY Graduates Post Completions Interactive Dashboard. Degree completers from 2005-2019 in 2020 dollars. Working in NY State: the percent of graduates working in New York State two years after graduation. SUNY Wages Dashboard, includes graduates from 2015-18.
