Why get your degree from the Technion?
The Technion, the first and leading institute of Technology in Israel, offers world-class teaching and research opportunities in Quantum Science and Technology (QST). It encompasses first-class engineering along with leading science faculties.
The Technion has been the nucleus of the high-tech industry in northern Israel and provides much of the skilled manpower to the high-tech and defense industry. Israel, well known as the start-up nation, owes this status, in no small measure, to the Technion.
A degree from the Technion offers a unique opportunity to further your career in QST.
The Technion has a distinguished tradition in Quantum theory, going back to Nathan Rosen, of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen famous work on entanglement and to Asher Peres, one of the six fathers of Quantum teleportation.
The Technion offers active and leading research groups in the focal areas of QST:
1. Quantum Computation
2. Quantum Information and Communication
3. Simulation of Quantum Systems and Photonics
4. Quantum Sensing
5. Quantum Materials
Two departments at the Technion- Chemistry and Physics - offer an MSc program with a certificate of specialization in QST.
The Computer Science department offers a secondary specialization in Quantum Computing for Bachelor's Degree.

Quantum technologies are a collection of methods that use the Quantum properties of particles for practical applications, such as Quantum Computers, Quantum Communication, and Quantum Sensing. The Molecular Quantum Technology program will focus on unique aspects of the Quantum field that are particularly relevant to Chemistry, such as molecular Quantum Computers, magnetic resonance Quantum Sensors, applications of Quantum Computers in theoretical Chemistry, and Quantum Mechanics theory in molecular aspects. This is an innovative field of research that will lead to technological revolutions in the 21st century.
Any student who has received a Master's degree in Chemistry (average of at least 80 undergraduate degrees + a personal interview) will be eligible for admission to the Molecular Quantum Technology course.
