Quantum Technology (Taught)

Top 20 in the UK for Physics (Guardian University Guide 2025)

7th in the UK for our research environment in Physics in REF 2021 (Times Higher Education)

Our quantum physics research seeks to transform the way we live and work. Exploration of quantum phenomena has recently led to extraordinary applications of quantum entanglement.

This course is for you if you’re interested in the wonders of quantum physics and have a desire to exploit its full potential.

You’ll benefit from the expertise in the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies Work in our seven research groups lies at the forefront of realising next-generation quantum technologies with powerful real-world applications. We cover:

• ion-trap quantum processors

• ion-photon interfaces for the projected quantum internet

• quantum simulators

• superconducting quantum circuits

• devices for quantum-enhanced metrology

• photonic devices for quantum systems.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
