M2 Quantum, Light, Materials and Nano Sciences
The M2 QLMN : Quantum, Light, Materials and Nano Sciences offers a specialization through three tracks with transversal courses addressing fundamental concepts, and courses more in relation to the chosen orientation:
- "Light and Matter" addresses the major fields of Physics in connection with light, diluted matter (atoms, molecules, solids, plasmas) and their interaction. It focuses on the quantum properties of media interacting with light.
- "Condensed matter and its interfaces" addresses the main fields of Physics related to condensed matter and its interfaces, from fundamental quantum properties to nanomaterials.
- "Nanodevices and Technologies" covers the fundamental courses in the different domains of nanosciences associated to advanced training in micro and nano fabrication techniques and experimental study of physical phenomena.
For each track, it is possible to address both theoretical and experimental aspects, ranging from fundamentals to a wide range of applications in domains as varied as quantum technologies, sources of intense radiation, nanoelectronics, biosciences, nanophotonics, spintronics, optoelectronics, functional materials, or image sciences…
The internship, lasting at least 18 weeks, can be carried out in France or abroad.
The required level is a first year of master in Physics, electrical engineering, or equivalent. This course is open to students from engineering schools wishing to take an M2 in the 3rd year.
This program is also open to international students who have already validated an equivalent training.
A good knowledge of basic physics (quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical physics, …) is required.
- Understand and use specialized knowledges, with the requisite scientific rigor, in the fields of quantum sciences and technologies, light and light-matter interaction, condensed matter, and nanosciences.
- Be able to analyze a scientific article or presentation and grasp its underlying issues as well as its limits.
- Use conceptual, methodological, numerical, technical and practical knowledge and skills for modelling and solving problems in physics or engineering, or at the junction of both disciplines.
- Build knowledge through a scientific approach.
- Adapt to a new environment, work as a team and collaborate to achieve common goals.
- Summarize and communicate effectively in a manner adapted to the targeted audience.
Most of the graduated students chose to continue as PhD student, both in academia or in industry.
This specialisation is oriented towards professions that are associated with research in academia (University, CNRS) or research and development in startups (Quandela, Pasqal, … ), in industrial group (Thales, Sagem, ESSILOR, L’Oréal, Alcatel-Lucent, Saint Gobain, Quantel, STMicro…), or in research centers (ONERA, CNES, CEA (Laser MegaJoule, LETI)... ).
The M2 QLMN: Quantum, Light, Materials and Nano Sciences offers a specialization through three tracks with transversal courses addressing fundamental concepts, and courses more in relation to the chosen orientation. The different tracks ("Light and Matter", "Condensed matter and its interfaces" and "Nanodevices and Technologies") are described hereafter. In each case UE core + electives correspond to a total of 39 ECTS while the research internship for a duration of 18 weeks minimum correspond to 21 ECTS.
