The Indiana Commission for Higher Education recently approved a new professional MS degree program at Indiana University/Bloomington in quantum information science (QIS). This new MS degree program will start in fall 2021 and will be housed in the IUB graduate school, with participation from the College of Arts and Sciences, the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, and the Kelley School of Business. It is designed as a "bridge" degree program for BS-level students without training in physics to get up to speed in QIS. This new degree program complements other recent activity in QIS, including the successful proposal to the IUB Emerging Areas of Research Competition and the recent foundation of the IU Quantum Science and Engineering center (QSEc) and builds upon previous QIS-related course development in physics and computer science. W. M. Snow led the effort to organize the new degree program with help from several IUB faculty in physics, mathematics, chemistry, CISE, and business.
