Department of Quantum Science and Energy Engineering
Students in this Department attain a deep understanding of the electrons, atomic nuclei and atoms making up matter at the quantum level, learn about their interaction with matter, and study quantum-level phenomena and the applications of them to such areas as medical diagnosis and development of new materials. They also study the principles and mechanisms of fission reactors and fusion reactors for controlling and making effective use of the energy produced by nuclear reactions. The studies therefore combine multiple disciplines, in a comprehensive program going from quantum phenomena to their applications.
