The Duke ECE Quantum Computing Concentration has two tracks—Software and Hardware
- The Software Track prepares students to program and control quantum information devices and builds off the well-established Software Development Concentration
- The Hardware Track focuses on the design, fabrication and testing of quantum devices
The Quantum Computing Concentration is available as part of:
- A research-oriented Master of Science (MS) degree
- An industry-focused Master of Engineering (MEng) degree
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.
