Are you ready to become a leader in the emerging quantum economy?

The quantum engineering minor provides a unique overview of one of the fastest-growing technological fields 和 will help to prepare you for the quantum workforce of today 和 tomorrow. It is part of a larger campus-wide effort to make quantum theory accessible to non-physics majors 和 build the state 和 national quantum workforce.

The quantum engineering minor is open to students from diverse STEM backgrounds, regardless of major or college. If you have completed a programming course, calculus 2 和 linear algebra, this minor demystifies quantum physics 和 will teach you how to approach quantum science 和 engineering problems.

After taking three core courses, you can take electives from your home college or department to help supplement your quantum education.
