Graduate Program in Quantum Information

In collaboration with the departments of Physics & Astronomy, Chemistry, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Combinatorics & Optimization, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, graduate students at IQC can earn Masters', including MMath, MSc, MASc, and PhD degrees with specializations in quantum information.

The graduate program is designed to provide knowledge of quantum information, including theory and implementations, with a focus on your home program discipline, and develops advanced expertise in your particular research area within quantum information. Read more about the program options and requirements.

New: This year, IQC, in partnership with the Department of Physics & Astronomy and the Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) Program, announced a one-year course-based MSc in Physics with a Specialization in Quantum Technology.
