Introduction
Quantum sciences and technologies undoubtedly represent the frontier of the evolution of knowledge for physics and engineering applications, a new and pervasive technological revolution that will affect every aspect of our life, from communications to calculation, from finance to life sciences, from security to energy.
With the master's degree program in Quantum Engineering, you will become an engineer able to operate in the context of applications of quantum sciences and technologies, with particular reference to three fundamental engineering sectors: computing, communication, and sensing.
The course will offer you a solid multidisciplinary background. It will allow you to enter high-profile research contexts, but, above all, to use quantum technologies in an innovative and transversal way in engineering applications (in manufacturing, services, life sciences, and security).
The course therefore trains professional profiles such as technologists or process engineers for the manufacture of quantum and hybrid devices, designers of quantum devices, circuits and systems for communications and sensors, developers of machine learning algorithms, experts in high-performance simulations (for pharmaceuticals, development of new proteins, the management of communication networks, transport, energy distribution, ...), IT security and protected communications expert, developer of economic-financial solutions based on the use of quantum computers, ...
If you wish, the master's degree course in Quantum Engineering also offers the opportunity to keep on training through Masters, Specialization Schools, and Research Doctorates, both nationally and internationally, thanks to the teaching experience entirely in English and the opportunity to work in laboratories, research centers, and international companies through both laboratory and thesis activities.

Program Outcome
What will you learn?
Being actors in the revolution that quantum technologies will bring about in many engineering sectors is certainly the main objective of this course of study.
The master's degree course in Quantum Engineering, therefore, provides for a program curriculum in line with its main purpose, i.e. to train graduates with a multidisciplinary background that includes the mathematical, physical, electronic, and IT skills necessary for an effective application of quantum technologies to the fields of communications, information technology, and sensors.
You will become an expert in quantum theory, to understand the fundamental laws and mechanisms that govern the operation of quantum systems and devices, and then you will deepen your knowledge of electronic, computer, and communications systems to design the integration of quantum systems into real applications.
The program curriculum will allow you to acquire high-level professional skills with vertical training in three main application areas:
- Quantum Computing, is a training course with specific teachings aimed at the design and use of very high-performance computing systems, the development of applications and algorithms operating on quantum computers, the development of hybrid classical/quantum applications, and new quantum computer architectures.
- Quantum Communication, is a training course with specific teachings aimed at the design and use of intrinsically secure communication systems based on quantum cryptography and the related algorithms and devices for engineering implementation.
- Quantum Sensors, is a training course aimed at the design and use of measurement systems based on quantum sensors for extremely diversified application sectors, implemented with photonic or solid-state technologies.
Career Opportunities
The master's degree program in Quantum Engineering trains professional profiles of engineers with a solid set of skills to operate in industrial and research and development sectors in the fields of quantum computing, quantum electronics, quantum technology, quantum sensing, quantum communication, quantum metrology, and quantum security.
The main targets for professional employment are high-tech companies of different scales, also operating at a global level, thanks to the exclusive use of the English language for teaching, in strategic sectors such as microelectronics, telecommunications, security, defense, aerospace, energy and environment, biomedical, hardware and software development for quantum computers, financial services.
The demand for professional profiles of this type is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
You can also opt for further professional opportunities in the field of basic and applied research, in metrology, or keep on training through Masters, specialization schools, and Ph.D. programs.

How will you learn it?
The master's degree course in Quantum Engineering is entirely taught in English.
Due to its multidisciplinary nature, it is open to Bachelor graduates in Electronic Engineering, Physics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, and Mathematics for Engineering. It can also be a valuable option and higher education opportunity for students with a Bachelor's degree in Physics, Computer Science, and Mathematics.
You will learn through lectures, classroom exercises, experimental (also in a cleanroom), and computational laboratory activities organized in groups.
The program curriculum is divided into four semesters, each of which includes teaching activities that provide transversal skills in the sectors characterizing the master's degree with the presence of integrated courses.
You can choose to carry out the thesis activity in any top-level Italian or international company, university, or research center all over the world.
