Overview

Quantum technologies are a strategic global topic for academia and industry. These disruptive technologies have the potential to revolutionise the design and implementation of information and communication sciences and technologies. France is investing nearly €2 billion in this field over the next four years.

A new interdisciplinary training programme in quantum technologies has been launched by PSL University in September 2022. It results from an unprecedented synergy between some of its founding schools, namely: Ecole normale supérieure, ESPCI Paris, Mines Paris, École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris - PSL and the Observatoire de Paris, and it is part of PSL’s graduate programme in physics.

PSL's quantum engineering programme is a 5-year PhD Track that provides cutting-edge training, with garanteed 3-year funding for the doctorate (within PSL) and available scholarships for master’s degree. This programme aims at high-potential students wishing to take up the quantum challenges of tomorrow and to develop their scientific ambitions and their research project from the Master's level. It will train a new generation of “PhD-quantum-engineers” capable of designing and implementing quantum technologies in research, industry, finance and entrepreneurship.
The students of the master will be part of the thriving Parisian community in quantum technologies through the Paris Centre for Quantum Technologies, where the research efforts of the main Parisian universities converge.

Learning outcomes

  • Be trained in the challenges of quantum physics and associated technologies, from the first year of the Master's program
  • Contribute to cutting-edge research in a world-renowned interdisciplinary research ecosystem
  • Become part of the next generation of quantum experts who will bring quantum science and engineering into next-level applications.
