MSc Quantum Technologies

University of Strathclyde

The so-called Second Quantum Revolution is driving new approaches to sensing, computation, communication and security by harnessing and controlling quantum behaviour. With major global investment accelerating both research and real‑world adoption, quantum technologies are set to transform industry.The UK is at the forefront of this field, investing over £1 billion since 2014 through the National Quantum Technologies Programme, with a further £2 billion committed via the National Quantum Strategy. This sustained support is helping move quantum technologies from research to large‑scale deployment.At Strathclyde, the Department of Physics plays a leading role in this ecosystem. We contribute to multiple UK Quantum Technology Hubs, collaborate widely with industry, and lead the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies.Our research spans quantum algorithms, hardware development, and real‑world applications. We work closely with national high‑performance computing infrastructure and industry partners, while advancing experimental platforms such as neutral‑atom quantum processors and simulators.This MSc equips you with the knowledge and technical skills to contribute to this rapidly evolving field – focusing on how to control quantum systems to unlock new technologies in both research and industry.
