A quantum physics degree covers
topics including the use of quantum mechanics to understand how light and
matter interact, manipulating quantum properties to design new superconductors,
and applying quantum principles for creating and programming quantum computers.
Job opportunities in quantum science are growing. The field of quantum
information science and engineering (QISE) may revolutionize information
technology, computing, and national security. MTSU is making significant
investments in research and education because there is a notable talent
shortage in the U.S. Job openings in the field currently outnumber qualified
candidates, with employment opportunities available across academia, industry,
national laboratories, and government. You can join the quantum revolution by
choosing this concentration while you complete your B.S. in Physics. Courses
include quantum mechanics, scientific computing, quantum computing basics and
quantum computing applications. Quantum physics degree courses will provide a
background to help you become competitive in the quantum science job market, or
to allow you to make an immediate impact when entering graduate school for a
Master’s or Ph.D.
Career Path
There's almost no field of
endeavor that doesn't have some part of it touched by physics. Not
surprisingly, a B.S. in Physics can be that first step to any number of diverse
careers! Examples include Acoustics researcher, Architect , Astronomer ,
Astrophysicist , Design engineer , Doctor , High school physics
teacher , Laser engineer , Medical physicist , Naval mine warfare
analyst, Naval mine warfare analyst , Patent attorney , Process
engineer , Pilot , Semiconductor engineer , Software developer.
