Princeton engineering, princeton introduces a ph.d. program at intersection of quantum physics and information theory.
November 13, 2023
Princeton University has launched a new Ph.D. program in Quantum Science and Engineering , providing graduate training in an emerging discipline at the intersection of quantum physics and information theory.
This new field of quantum information science may enable fundamentally new technology, including new types of computers that can solve currently intractable problems, communication channels guaranteed secure by the laws of physics, and sensors that offer unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution.
Applications from prospective students are due December 15 for an incoming first class in Fall 2024.
The new doctoral program is part of Princeton’s expanded commitment to quantum science and engineering research and education. The University’s growing programs, along with the ongoing recruitment of top faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, reflect the University’s recognition of the transformative potential of quantum science and technology to benefit society in the decades ahead.
According to Andrew Houck, professor of electrical and computer engineering and co-director of the Princeton Q uantum I nitiative , Princeton is “ramping up efforts across campus to remain the leading place in the world for this kind of science and engineering for many decades.” Ali Yazdani, the Class of 1909 Professor of Physics and co-director alongside Houck, adds that Princeton’s work in this area stands apart from quantum research at other institutions due to the University’s inclusive approach across disciplines and across the spectrum from foundational science to innovative devices.
“A major goal of the program is to form a graduate student community spanning disciplines and research topics, and united by a common scientific language,” according to Nathalie de Leon, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and the director of graduate studies for quantum science and engineering. “Our curriculum will place students in an excellent position to build new quantum systems, discover new technological innovations, become leaders in the emergent quantum industry, and make deep, lasting contributions to quantum information science.”
De Leon says the new quantum science and engineering doctoral program is structured to take advantage of the unique interdisciplinary breadth of Princeton’s quantum community. “Research at Princeton encompasses every layer of the quantum technology stack, bringing together many-body physics, materials, devices, new quantum hardware platforms, quantum information theory, metrology, algorithms, complexity theory, and computer architecture,” explains de Leon. “This vibrant environment allows for rapid progress at the frontiers of quantum science and technology, with cross-pollination among quantum platforms and approaches.”
The initiative also benefits from a growing number of collaborations with scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton; the collaborative work includes designing highly specialized materials such as diamonds and superconducting magnets needed for quantum experiments and technologies.
De Leon adds, “The quantum faculty at Princeton value interdisciplinarity, collaboration, depth, and fostering a close-knit community that enables fundamental and significant advances.”
The new doctoral program will provide students with a strong foundation of fundamentals, as well as opportunities to explore the frontiers of current research, instruction on reading and understanding literature over an extensive range of topics, and many opportunities for scientific interaction and professional development.
Princeton University’s stipend for graduate students is among the highest in the nation. The University fully funds all Ph.D. students, offering generous tailored support across all years of regular program enrollment. The graduate student experience at Princeton encompasses campus housing, a health plan and benefits, family care assistance, and a wide range of student life programs and traditions that welcome all to participate in the diverse and inclusive Graduate School community.
Prospective students are encouraged to review the degree program requirements and indicate on the application their interest in the broad research areas of quantum systems experiment, quantum systems theory, quantum material science, or quantum computer science.

Graduate Program
Requirements.
The Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics offers a select group of highly qualified students the opportunity to obtain a thorough knowledge of branches of mathematics and computational methods indispensable to science and engineering applications.
Preliminary Exam
In the first year of studies, It will be the student’s responsibility to choose three areas in which to be examined out of a list of six possibilities to be specified below. This choice of topics should be achieved by the end of October. The director of graduate studies, in consultation with the student, will then appoint a set of advisers from among the faculty and associated faculty. The adviser in each topic will meet regularly with the student, monitor progress and assign additional reading material. They can be any member of the University faculty, but normally would be either program or associated faculty. The first-year student should choose three topics from among the following six applied mathematics categories:
- Asymptotics, analysis, numerical analysis and signal processing;
- Discrete mathematics, combinatorics, algorithms, computational geometry and graphics;
- Mechanics and field theories (including computational physics/chemistry/biology);
- Optimization (including linear and nonlinear programming and control theory);
- Partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations (including dynamical systems); and
- Stochastic modeling, probability, statistics and information theory.
Please check Faculty Research Interest that may help you select the topics and committee members.
Other topics as special exceptions might be possible, provided they are approved in advance by the director of graduate studies. Typically, students take regular or reading courses with their advisers in each of the three areas, completing the regular exams and course work for these courses.
The preliminary exam must be taken at the end of the first year. It is a joint interview by students three first-year advisers. Each student should discuss with their first-year advisers which of these courses are relevant for their areas. In order to assess whether they have sufficient preparation, or whether it would be good to take a particular course, it is a good idea to obtain some typical homework or a final exam from a previous year. If the student fails the preliminary examination or a part thereof the first time, they make take it a second time.
General Examination
Before being admitted to a third year of study, students must pass the general examination. The general examination, or generals, is designed as a sequence of interviews with assigned professors that takes place during the first year and covers three areas of applied mathematics. The generals culminate in a seminar on a research topic, usually delivered toward the end of the fourth term.
A student who completes all departmental requirements (coursework, preliminary exams, with no incompletes) but fails the general examination may take it a second time. If the student fails the general examination a second time, then Ph.D. candidacy is automatically terminated.
Master of Arts
The Master of Arts degree is normally an incidental degree on the way to full Ph.D. candidacy, but may also be awarded to students who for various reasons leave the Ph.D. program. Students who have satisfactorily passed required coursework including the resolution of any incompletes and have passed the preliminary exam, may be awarded an M.A. degree. Students must complete the required “Advanced Degree Application form” upon learning the Department’s determination of their candidacy in order to receive the M.A.
Doctoral Dissertation
The doctoral dissertation may consist of a mathematical contribution to some field of science or engineering , or the development or analysis of mathematical or computational methods useful for, inspired by, or relevant to science or engineering.
Satisfactory completion of the requirements leads to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in applied and computational mathematics.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems
However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds. Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.
Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents. Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
