Quantum Software/Hardware Track

The Duke ECE Quantum Software/Hardware Track covers two areas of inquiry:

  • A software focus prepares students to program and control quantum information devices. This focus builds off the well-established Software Engineering Track
  • A hardware focus emphasizes the design, fabrication and testing of quantum devices

The Quantum Software/Hardware Track is available as part of:

Duke ECE is home to international leaders in information physics research, embodied in pathbreaking programs in metamaterials, quantum devices, and optical systems.

Master's students will learn from a faculty team with deep interdisciplinary research strengths and a track record of entrepreneurship and innovation.
