Be a part of a techological revolution
The field of Quantum Information Science and Technology brings together two major advances of the 20th century: quantum mechanics and information technology.
Quantum mechanics is the most accurate theory in science. It describes the world at its most basic level. Information technology gave rise to the computer, digital communication and other devices that have transformed how we live. When we combine quantum mechanics and information technology, we get Quantum Information Science and Technology.

Quantum Information Science and Technology will harness the power of quantum mechanics and bring a radical new era of technology. It will allow us to do things that are unthinkable or even impossible with today’s technology. Quantum technologies will fundamentally change classical engineering paradigms in computing, information processing, and measurement technology.
