MATH is partner in Digital European Quantum Master
24 organisations from 10 countries are changing the way that Quantum Technologies are taught across Europe.
The University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have joined a consortium of European partners to develop a Digitally Enhanced Quantum Technology Master (DigiQ).
MATH, DIKU, NBI and DTU developed the new Danish MSc programme in Quantum Information Science (QIS-MSc).
The department's Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH) will offer one to two of their QIS-MSc courses online to the DigiQ Ecosystem from 2023. They will moreover develop teaching modules to be used by other DigiQ partners and integrate teaching modules from other partners in the QIS-MSc courses.
QIS-MSc students that take more than 30 ECTS from DigiQ-offered courses or modules will receive a DigiQ master certificate as part of their QIS master's degree.
Jacob Sherson, Aarhus University is the DigiQ lead and has coordinated a joint application under the Digital Europe Programme. The proposal was successful, and MATH received approx. DKK 1.7 million from the EU to develop online courses and network activities for a four-year project period.
QMATH will be the coordinator of a DigiQ Network for Quantum Computing. The network will include a monthly event for master-level and PhD students featuring online lectures and presentations by DigiQ partners or industrial contacts. It will also include QMATH's existing scientific activities such as masterclasses and the 4EU+ online course and Summer School.
Jan Philip Solovej, Head of Studies for QIS-MSc, says:
“It is very important for our new master's education that we have an international study environment with a broad spectrum of exchange opportunities for the students. We are therefore excited to be part of the DigiQ consortium with all the possibilities it offers our students".
The aims and ambition of DigiQ are to
- Develop 16 Quantum Technology Master Degrees across Europe.
- Provide a personalised route for thousands of top students to a Quantum Workforce.
- Disseminate multilingual educational resources for the whole of Europe.
- Help to build the Quantum Industry through a Pan-European mobility program.
