Overview

About the Program

The program consists of nine courses (36 units), an internship, and a capstone presentation on the internship. Some of these courses are designed specifically for the QST program, however, they will also be offered to both graduate students in state supported programs to provide a means to elevate academic excellence within our departments. This program is a professional degree program and is not a step towards a PhD degree. While the QST training will enhance the qualifications for an academic career, the QST curriculum emphasizes breadth and laboratory work. This will equip students to apply their skills in diverse settings.

The Quantum Science and Technology program of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is centered around hands-on research through three laboratory classes (QST 210-213), which introduce the students to the topics and technology of the field. These classes are complemented with three theory classes (QST 201-203), which are crafted to bring students from diverse backgrounds to a working knowledge of QST topics. The students will also take two classes in programming quantum computers (QST 205-206) to prepare them for the workforce as well as one elective already taught in Physics, Math, Chemistry, Engineering, or Computer Science. This innovative, active learning curriculum has been designed to provide rigorous training in QST. The QST also program provides students with the opportunity to interact with UCLA’s stellar research faculty in a variety of contexts, including as instructors and guest lecturers in QST courses and as participants in the colloquia series.
