Master of Science in Applied Computing - Quantum Computing

The University of Toronto’s Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) Program is committed to educating the next generation of world-class innovators. With concentrations in Artificial Intelligence, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science, and Quantum Computing, our program will provide students with a truly unparalleled academic experience. Not only will students learn from world-class faculty about the latest developments in cutting edge technologies, they also have the opportunity to apply that knowledge through a practical applied-research internship at one of our partner companies. The Master of Science in Applied Computing (MScAC) degree program provides a truly unparalleled academic experience.The field of Quantum Computing has emerged as a response to our increasing and relentless ability to demand more computing power, particularly on hard problems related to many disciplines, including new material discovery, life sciences, finance, and machine learning. The importance of the field is calling for an entirely new type of professional – the Quantum Computer Scientist. A Quantum Computer Scientist requires expertise in quantum physics, quantum information theory, optimization theory; training in data management, computation and analysis; and experience in scientific or industrial collaboration.
