Fall 2024

Masters in Quantum Information 2 points, 3 comments

“Hi everyone, I am planning to apply for quantum information specialization. I want to know the state of IQC, how is it like to study there ? Is it worth to spend time there. …”

u/forky40: “I did my masters and PhD at IQC. "The state of IQC, how is it like to study there ? Is it worth to spend time there" This depends on a what you're looking for. Its really multidisciplinary. …”

u/forky40: “For any of the Msc options I think the only required courses are QIC710 (quantum information processing) and QIC750 (implementations). You can take more QIC courses since they often are cross-listed in your home department. The details of all this is on IQC's website.”

Spring 2022

[Recommendation] Take PHYS 468 110 points, 37 comments

“Hey, I'm teaching PHYS 468 this Fall, a course which introduces the inner workings of four types of quantum computers. I wanted to encourage people to take it. …”

u/Yu-Li: “How does this course connect with physics? I have taken pmath 343 before and although I got good grades in it, I didn’t really enjoy it. …”

u/shayze: “There is a graduate version of this course, QIC 750. It brings students with no physics background in and they manage. I'm happy to walk through whatever physics you don't know in the course. If you're interested I would ask your department secretary if you're able to take it.”
