General Information About the Program

Quantum Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that aims to develop next-generation technologies using the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics that go beyond the laws of classical physics. Quantum technologies utilize the properties of quantum physics such as superposition, quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling, non-clonability, noise squeezing, etc. to provide computing, sensing and communication methods that are much more powerful than classical systems. Developments in this field are transforming many sectors such as computing, communications, materials science and sensing technologies.

The main focus areas of quantum technologies are:

- Quantum Sensing and Metrology

- Quantum Computing and Simulation

- Quantum Cryptography and Communication

Within the scope of the program, the topics that form the basis of scientific and technological developments in the above-mentioned fields are given through various mandatory and elective courses, and it is aimed to transform theoretical knowledge into practice with a comprehensive laboratory course within the scope of photonic quantum technologies.

Quantum technology-based companies, telecommunication firms, government research institutes and defense industries are interested in experts trained in this field. This program not only orients students towards academic research but also provides them with skills that can be applied in industry, making it easier for them to be employed in companies that develop quantum technologies.

This master's program aims to provide students with both theoretical knowledge and experimental application skills. Students will learn a wide range of topics from the basic principles of quantum computers to quantum cryptography systems and will have the opportunity to use this knowledge in practical applications. They will also gain the ability to model and simulate quantum systems and gain an in-depth understanding of how these systems work.

Graduates with a master's degree will contribute to the closing of the shortage of trained personnel in quantum technologies in public institutions and organizations, private sector and universities in our country and abroad.

Students accepted to the master's program will have access to applied research opportunities in the quantum technologies research and training laboratories at the Institute of Nuclear Sciences and will be able to specialize by taking an active role in research projects in our research groups during their master's education.
