Ohio State to launch quantum MS/PhD program with funding from the National Science Foundation
An interdisciplinary team at The Ohio State University has received $3M from the National Science Foundation to support the launch of a new graduate program in quantum information science and engineering (QISE). Faculty leaders from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering are involved in the program, which is one of a few in the U.S. that is not housed in a single academic department.
The program, funded by NSF’s Research Traineeship (NRT), will include core new graduate-level courses, experiential learning such as graduate research and industry internships, and professional training in communication and ethics. Students will have access to faculty members and courses in the Departments of Physics, Math and Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Materials Science Engineering.
