Quantum and Nanotechnology Specialization
Quantum and Nanotechnology graduate specialization, housed within the Applied Physics master's program, is an innovative, industry-focused program that equips students with advanced skills in quantum science, nanofabrication, radio-frequency electronics, and cryogenic technology. Building on the success of the University of Oregon's nationally recognized Applied Physics Master's program, this specialization combines rigorous coursework, hands-on training, and a nine-month paid industry internship. It prepares graduates for high-demand careers in quantum computing, superconducting quantum circuits, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), photonics, and advanced materials research.
