Department of Quantum Systems Engineering

The Department of Quantum Systems Engineering is dedicated to studying and developing advanced systems that benefit human life by understanding and harnessing the fundamental properties of electrons, ions, atoms, and light—the very foundations of our world and matter itself.

Since the 20th century, as humanity has gradually deepened its understanding of the quantum world composed of electrons, ions, atoms, and light, various types of quantum systems have been created to serve practical purposes in everyday life. Representative examples of large-scale quantum systems include nuclear reactor systems, which form the basis of Korea’s power energy infrastructure; fusion reactor systems, expected to play a pivotal role in the future of global energy; and particle accelerator systems, which have not only advanced the exploration of fundamental properties of matter but are also increasingly recognized as vital tools in the life sciences.

At the Department of Quantum Systems Engineering, students acquire comprehensive knowledge in nuclear engineering, radiation science, and plasma engineering to develop a deeper understanding of these quantum systems that underpin modern industry.
