PHYS 691. Industry Projects in Quantum and Nanotechnology. 4 Credits.
This hands-on course trains students in designing, building, and testing integrated quantum and nanotechnology devices. Working in teams, students take projects from concept to completion, developing plug-and-play systems through design and fabrication. Projects involve nanofabricating mechanical, photonic, electronic, or superconducting micro- and nanodevices using advanced tools like e-beam lithography, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Students gain skills in technical communication, design, fabrication, measurement, simulation, analysis, and industry collaboration. By course end, they will have built a functional system, developed industry-relevant expertise, and gained experience in teamwork, innovation, and advanced nanofabrication techniques.
Requisites: Prereq: PHYS 533, PHYS 595. Coreq: PHYS 681, PHYS 682.
