Overview

The Quantum Science and Technology programme offered by Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich goes significantly beyond the standard teaching program of quantum mechanics as in modern application of quantum technologies (Quantum2.0), the concepts of superposition and entanglement are of central importance. Owing to the complexity of the field, the study program QST aims at students which will work at the forefront of quantum science and who will expand the existing research areas in natural sciences, mathematics and engineering.

Typical fields of application

The courses available within the QST Master’s program cover the basics and the skills required to successfully carry out research or industrial projects across interdisciplinary boundaries. In addition to the necessary background knowledge and practical know-how, the self and social skills required in the academic or industrial environment will be promoted. This profile is intended to enable graduates to be deployed in a wide range of research, industrial and service industries. Typical fields of application for the graduates of the QST Master’s program are in experimental and theoretical research activities, in the planning and documentation of research projects as well as in adjacent fields of activity of the computer science and technology industry, for example in patenting, development, project planning or in public institutions.
