Physics with Quantum Computing University of Surrey

Overview

Quantum Computing harness the unusual features of the quantum world to perform tasks that are difficult with conventional technologies alone. The  Physics with Quantum Computing programme will cover the full spectrum of this exciting and rapidly developing field – from lasers and photonics to quantum information and quantum computing.

Career opportunities

• This   Physics with Quantum Computing  programme offered by the University of Surrey combines elements of traditional physics with the study of quantum technologies, providing students with the ideal foundation to start a career in this emerging field. You’ll learn about existing quantum technologies, such as the devices used to transmit internet data and those behind the lasers in Blu-ray players. n daily life, quantum technologies will enable faster and more secure communications. They’ll even give enhancements to the way roadworks proceed, by using quantum gravity sensors to identify underground structures and pipelines. All these developments require scientists and engineers with an ability to understand the language of quantum physics. As a Surrey physics student, you’ll acquire a range of employability skills during your studies. You’ll take a dedicated Year 1 module – Scientific Investigation Skills – which covers key communication skills, group work and presentations, plus problem-solving in the laboratory. We also support you with building your CV, interview preparation and job applications. Students who take either the Professional Training placement or Research Year placement gain invaluable employment experience at their host institution. Recent graduates are now employed as:
• Automation Tester, CGI

• Graduate Engineer, Aktins

• Graduate Physicist, DSTL

• Research Scientist RF and Microwave Metrologist, National Physical Laboratory

• System Analyst, Raytheon Systems Ltd

• Trade Compliance Analyst, FibreFab Ltd

• Trainee Clinical Scientist, NHS.

Accreditation

• Accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of fully meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.
