Master in Quantum Engineering

For Master in Quantum Engineering, tuition fees are 2,600 USD per year.

Quantum Engineering is a two-year master's program taught in English at Politecnico di Torino, in Torino, Italy. This emerging field applies the principles of quantum mechanics to the design of technologies such as quantum computers, quantum communication systems and quantum sensors, translating theoretical physics into engineered devices and systems. Typical coursework includes quantum mechanics, solid-state and condensed matter physics, and electronics, alongside subjects specific to the field such as quantum computing architectures, quantum information theory, quantum cryptography and quantum sensing technologies. Students generally build a strong foundation in physics and mathematics before moving into more specialized engineering topics addressing how quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, can be harnessed in practical devices. Coursework often also covers the fabrication and control of quantum systems, including superconducting circuits or photonic devices, depending on how the curriculum is structured, as well as the classical electronics and control systems needed to operate quantum hardware. Because the field draws heavily on both physics and engineering, programs in quantum engineering typically combine theoretical coursework with laboratory work involving specialized instrumentation used to build and test quantum devices. Graduates of quantum engineering programs are positioned for roles in research and development at technology companies working on quantum computing and communication, as well as in academic and government research institutions exploring quantum technologies. Some continue into doctoral research in physics, electrical engineering or computer science with a quantum focus. Torino has an established engineering and physics research base, which often provides context for advanced technical programs based there. Taught in English, this master's program is designed for students, including those from outside Italy, who want to specialize in the engineering applications of quantum technology within an Italian university.
