Project A Quantum Info Science & Tech (999F3QA)
Project A in Quantum Information Science and Technologies
Module 999F3QA
Module details for 2024/25.
30 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
This is one of two independent semester-long research projects for the Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Information Science and Technologies (QIST), the other being Project B in QIST. Students will choose projects that have been vetted as appropriate to the CDT from proposals submitted by potential supervisors. They are encouraged to expand their horizons with one of the two projects (e.g. a theory project for an experimentalist). It is possible that one could grow into a PhD project.
Module learning outcomes
Synthesise experimental and theoretical QIST research techniques appropriate to the context of a project.
Manage a complex project with attention to detail and an appropriate response to challenges that arise.
Produce technical scientific material approaching a professional standard.
Communicate with clarity the scientific output of a research project for a variety of audiences.
