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.

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

Note: All courses are mandatory.

The M2 is organized into four tracks: Condensed matter physics, Soft matter and biological physics, Quantum physics: From the foundations to quantum technologies, and Theoretical physics.  

The M1 offers a wealth of lectures covering a wide range of topics in modern physics, from fundamental interactions to biophysics, and also several aspects of quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics, to name just a few.

The ICFP  Master is a top-level program designed specifically for the best French and international students.

By choosing the École normale supérieure (ENS), students are assured of benefiting from the prestigious teaching that has made the ENS's reputation since its creation in 1794.
