Gain sought-after technical skills that can transform how we live and work with a physics master’s degree from Stevens—home of the nation’s first physics teaching lab.
Here at Stevens, you’ll establish general expertise in physics while honing critical thinking skills for multidisciplinary applications. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside faculty and researchers conducting formative research in cutting-edge areas like quantum systems, nanophotonics and optics. Your physics master’s degree will clear the path for a career in academia or a wide range of industries, such as defense, aerospace, government, education, health care, energy and IT. Recent Stevens physics master’s graduates have gone on to work for Palantir Technologies, Thorlabs and OFS Labs.
The Stevens physics department boasts a number of nationally recognized laboratories and centers, such as the Center for Distributed Quantum Computing, the Light and Life Laboratory and the NanoPhotonics Laboratory. You’ll also have a chance to work with the Stevens Quantum Campus Network—the country’s first campus hybrid quantum-communications network. If a career in industry is your goal, Stevens’ proximity to New York City gives you quick access to a large tech startup community and other organizations looking for your kind of skill set.
Professor Yuping Huang talked with me on the phone and invited me to visit the QuEST Lab in the physics department, and once I had done that, I knew I'd found my place at Stevens.
After joining assistant professor Huang's group eight months ago, I was amazed to see how quantum mechanics can enhance systems and technology.
We work in kind of a “V” model, with different personalities working toward a common goal. It's really awesome, and reminds me of when I worked at the startup. We will do great things.
The faculty in the Department of Physics include theory and experimental experts in their individual fields, with an joint interest in quantum control, systems and optics.
Yuping Huang's quantum mechanics research aims to deploy practical uses for quantum technology.
