Program details

Overview

This program is a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in Physics at the Universite de Sherbrooke, delivered on the university's main Sherbrooke campus with fall, winter, and summer admission terms. The 90-credit, full-time curriculum deepens and keeps current a candidate's knowledge within a chosen area of specialization in physics, training the student as an independent researcher able to formulate research problems and communicate results effectively. The department's research spans the theoretical and experimental physics of condensed matter and quantum computing, including the electronic properties of advanced materials such as superconductors, magnetic systems, microstructures, and nanostructures, electronic and photonic components, and quantum computing topics such as algorithms for quantum computers, quantum error correction, fault-tolerant quantum computing, superconducting and spin qubits, quantum dots, quantum sensors, quantum electrical circuits, and quantum optics. The program culminates in an original doctoral thesis developed under faculty supervision, preparing graduates for research careers in academia or advanced physics and quantum-technology roles in industry.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires a master's degree in physics (or equivalent), or, for candidates whose academic record is judged exceptional by the Department of Physics graduate studies committee, a bachelor's degree in physics, with 30 additional credits of preparatory coursework required in the latter case. Candidates must secure confirmation that a qualified professor agrees to supervise their research.
