¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is advancing education in this transformative field
Through an innovative partnership with Cleveland Clinic, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is positioned to keep Ohio at the forefront of the quantum computing industry by establishing a quantum computing pipeline in the state that will attract, retain, and anchor quantum computing talent in Ohio.
Recently, Miami launched Ohio’s first specialized degree programs and research experiences in quantum computing and expanded Quantum Information Science and Engineering research and courses in Physics.
Innovative partnership announced January 2025
¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ and have partnered to advance education in quantum computing and elevate Ohio’s global position in this transformative field. Through this innovative partnership, Ohio’s first specialized degree programs and research experiences in quantum computing have been established.
¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ will span bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. Students will gain expertise in quantum computing systems while focusing on practical applications in healthcare and life sciences.

The first in Ohio; launches fall 2025
In December 2024, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ Board of Trustees approved the new Quantum Computing major, the first of its kind for an Ohio institution. It was approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education in March 2025.
The Quantum Computing degree will launch in August 2025. It is believed to be not only the first in Ohio, but the first of its type nationwide to focus on the software aspects of quantum computing.
The new degree will keep Ohio at the forefront of the quantum computing industry, establish a quantum computing pipeline in the state, and attract, retain, and anchor quantum computing talent in Ohio.

This interdisciplinary program — developed in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic — integrates computer science, mathematics, physics, and specialized tracks like AI, cybersecurity, and life sciences to equip ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs with the skills needed to solve complex problems using quantum technologies
A number of Physics faculty have received research funding from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Expanding Capacity in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (ExpandQISE) program, In addition to their research, the grants will help the researchers expand Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) at Miami by developing new QISE-centered physics courses.
