MSE 598 class schedule data for fall 2025
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	80348	Lecture-Discussion	CA	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	2200 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Anderson, C Misra, Y	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/25-12/10/25 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Materials for Quantum Science Section Info: Quantum technology can change the way we communicate, compute, and probe the natural world. Unfortunately, these applications are often hampered by issues related to materials science- defects, surfaces, heterostructures, film growth, fabrication, and beyond. On the other hand, quantum mechanical principles determine the properties of many common and exotic materials. In this class, students will learn the basics of qubits, coherence, quantum control and the different physical platforms utilized in quantum science. The connections between quantum and materials science will be explored through the examination of modern literature. Students will apply materials science techniques and principles to the outstanding problems in quantum information science in the form of projects and presentations. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
