What is QMSE?
Yale’s Certificate in Quantum Materials Science and Engineering trains graduate students in the field of quantum materials through collaborative and multidisiplinary research combined with specialize course work, training programs, and outreach activities. Learn more about the program here. The QMSE program is supported by an NSF NRT Grant (NSF DGE 2244310)
Why Quantum Materials?
Quantum materials have played a key role in technologies with broad societal impacts (e.g., semiconductors, lasers, LEDs, and medical imaging). Their importance will increase with the growing research on harnessing quantum effects for computation and sensing (e.g., quantum computation and information research programs at leading technology companies). In addition, the role of data science and machine learning methods continue to grow in importance in all fields of science and engineering. The aim of this certificate is to train Ph.D. students in the multidisciplinary field of quantum materials and associated data science methods to allow them to be at the cutting edge of research and engineering on understanding and using quantum matter that can lead to scientific and engineering breakthroughs.
