Career opportunities with a degree in Quantum Computing

Several Danish companies are already working with quantum computing, and there is a blossoming market for companies specializing in quantum technology and in quantum computing.

With a degree in quantum computing, you will have great prospects on the job market, both nationally and internationally. You can apply for jobs within a broad range of fields.

Jobs and industries

Quantum Computing will be central among the new quantum technologies and will contribute to the acceleration of technological development and the ongoing digitalization. It is expected that quantum computing will be implemented in cryptography and communication, prediction of the stock market and portfolio optimization, optimization in the energy sector, data analysis, quantum machine learning and search.

Quantum technology and quantum computing will be used to break classical cryptographic protocols and develop new quantum cryptographic protocols, and in cybersecurity, surveillance, and simulation of war-scenarios.

It will be possible to apply for a PhD stipend in Quantum Computing. There will also be opportunities for interdisciplinary research, as it is expected that the computational power leveraged by quantum computing will enable breakthroughs and discoveries in all of the sciences. Further, there will be many opportunities to apply for an Industrial PhD in collaboration with the quantum technology industry.
