Master of Science in Chemistry (Quantum Information)

University of Waterloo

The University of Waterloo, home of the Institute for Quantum Computing, offers graduate students unique opportunities to learn about and engage in world-leading research in quantum information through a wide range of advanced research projects and advanced courses on the foundations, applications, and implementation of quantum information processing. In particular, the University of Waterloo offers a unique interdisciplinary graduate program in Quantum Information that leads to MSc and PhD degrees. MSc students will receive both strong and broad foundations in quantum information science, coupled with knowledge and expertise obtained within their home programs. This will prepare them for the workforce and/or further graduate studies and research leading towards a PhD degree. Chemistry MSc students must successfully complete at least four graduate level courses, including QIC 710 (Quantum Information Processing), QIC 750 (Implementation of Quantum Information Processing), CHEM 784 (Foundations of Chemistry/Biochemistry Literature Review), CHEM 794 (MSc seminar), and submit and defend an acceptable thesis.
