COURSE DESCRIPTION
The field of Engineering is rapidly evolving. Quantum Engineering is a new approach to working with quantum technology. Quantum Engineering combines the broad skills of engineering with fundamental physics in a unique way that allows engineers to solve contemporary problems and engineer solutions for the future. Quantum mechanics opens the doors for Quantum Engineers to leverage quantum physics to deliver unprecedented solutions to engineering problems.
Quantum Engineers specialise in how high-frequency, nanometre-scale electronics can be made to harness quantum nature. When you study Quantum Engineering at UNSW, you’ll develop the skillset required for the next generation of microelectronics, microwave and telecommunications engineers.
In this bachelor’s degree, you’ll learn how to work with a range of quantum systems, from high-frequency signals to very small electronic circuits.
Our expert academics will teach you about novel systems where the quantum phenomenon is the core aspect such as quantum computers, quantum sensors and quantum communications. You’ll gain practical experience by taking part in 60 days of industrial training throughout your degree to prepare you for a successful career in the growing sector of Quantum Engineering, anywhere in the world.
Future careers
Quantum Engineering is a rapidly growing field that encompasses quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communications, and quantum electronics. Its development has created a high demand for skilled graduates who can apply engineering principles to invent and utilise quantum-inspired devices. These skilled graduates are rare and highly sought-after.
Graduates can pursue research pathways in academia or government and defence labs continuing to unlock the secrets of quantum capabilities.
Potential careers
With the rapid growth in Quantum Engineering across the world there are countless career and research opportunities. You’ll gain practical experience throughout your degree to prepare you for a successful career in the growing sector of Quantum Engineering, anywhere in the world.
There are thousands of quantum engineering jobs in the private sector. Leading companies like Microsoft and IBM have large quantum engineering efforts internationally, including significant quantum activities in Australia. Local start-ups like Q-CTRL and SQC offer a growing number of opportunities. CSIRO and DST also have large initiatives in quantum sensing and metrology. Graduates can pursue research pathways in academia or government and defence labs and continue to unlock the secrets of quantum capabilities.
