What will I learn?

Students interested in Quantum Information Science (QIS) will find excellent opportunities at Syracuse University. The heart of the field is quantum computing that uses multilevel quantum systems (qubits) instead of classical semiconductor bits. The impact could be revolutionary on subjects ranging from fundamental science (quantum gravity, black holes, neutron stars, molecular structure and dynamics) to current technologies (cryptography, data mining, supply chains, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence). There are presently four professors working in the field, and there’s an educational partnership with QIS researchers working at the nearby Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York. Their research includes both laboratory realizations of qubits and quantum computers as well as algorithms to exploit them for currently intractable calculations in many areas.

Entry requirements

For international students

A baccalaureate degree in physics or its equivalent from a college or university of recognized standing. We consider applications from non-physics majors with good background in physics. Adequate preparation for graduate study of physics as witnessed by an academic transcript of undergraduate courses. Fluent command of the English language—foreign students for whom English is a second language should submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Evidence of promise in advanced study and research. Three strong letters of recommendation, at least two from professors in a position to write about your fitness for graduate work in physics. Students of any race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, nationality or ethnic origin.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
