• Semester 1 : Lectures and Practicum Courses (30 ECTS).
• Semester 2 : Internship in France or abroad (30 ECTS).

Note:  The students will have to choose between different optical courses in the first semester

PSL’s quantum engineering programme is a 2-year program that provides cutting-edge training. It is spread over two years and 120 ECTS, requesting full-time studies. 

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.

The academic year is divided into two semesters.

• Semester 1: Courses and Practicums (30 ECTS).
• Semester 2 : Internship : France or abroad (30 ECTS).

• Semester 1 : Lectures and Practicum Courses (30 ECTS).
• Semester 2 : Internship in France or abroad (30 ECTS).

Note: All courses are mandatory.

École Doctorale 564 Physique en Île-de-France is run by Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL Research University) and co-accredited by Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC) and Paris-Saclay (UPSaclay) universities.

Its scientific field essentially covers the physics of fundamental interactions, the quantum physics of dilute or condensed matter, statistical physics, the physics of soft or biological matter, as well as fundamental aspects of optics, acoustics and hydrodynamics.

Its scientific positioning is that of fundamental, theoretical and experimental physics, and the applications that naturally follow from this.

More than 700 doctoral students carry out their thesis work within the Physics Doctoral School in île de France, which groups together some 40 laboratories spread across Paris Centre and Paris Sud, and more than 800 thesis supervisors.
