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.
