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:
- 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.
