The UCLA Master of Quantum Science and Technology (MQST) program prepares students for research and development in quantum technology. Students in the MQST program will learn and strengthen their knowledge of the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum computing, quantum information, and quantum devices.

They will learn how to work in the laboratory with quantum optics, quantum sensing and materials, and quantum devices, and they will learn the algorithms, languages, and tools of quantum computing. A distinguishing feature of the UCLA MQST program is the year-long laboratory sequence in which students gain hands-on experience in quantum research and experimentation.

The program upholds UCLA’s high academic standards, has the support of industrial partners, and gives students the opportunity to interact with faculty experts and to gain hands-on experience in world-leading research and development.
