QuanTEEM - Erasmus Mundus Master in Quantum Technologies and Engineering

A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMME IN QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES

QuanTEEM offers a comprehensive programme in quantum technologies, covering all its current applications and exploiting a wide range of industrial cooperation. The innovative and unique content of QuanTEEM in Europe relies on the expertise and research activities of the ICB Laboratory at UBFC, directed by Stéphane Guérin, also in charge of the project, the Department of Physics at RPTU and the Center for Complex Quantum Systems at AU.

Center for Complex Quantum Systems (AU): https://phys.au.dk/ccq

The programme is based on the established quantum pillars: quantum communication, quantum simulations, quantum sensing, quantum computers and computation, and quantum information sciences, towards innovation. It addresses aspects and applications ranging from basic research in physics and beyond to major grand challenges such as energy, materials, health, security and environment, to which quantum technologies has started to apply.

In addition to its three European partner universities, the QuanTEEM consortium counts more than 20 associated partners, including 13 industrial partners ranging from large companies to Quantum start-ups.

WE EDUCATE TOP SKILLED QUANTUM EXPERTS, ENGINEERS AND RESEARCHERS

Our mission is to educate top skilled quantum experts, engineers and researchers with multi-disciplinary approaches in physics, chemistry, materials science (including nanostructures) and computer science, serving as the backbone of the programme. We provide students with an international network, a genuine European learning as well as an integrated cultural and multilanguage experience.

Students graduating from the QuanTEEM master’s programme will have the ability to be recruited in the numerous private companies active in the field of Quantum Technologies, to embark on a top-class PhD programme in laboratories (research department) and private companies (R&D department), or to create a start-up, anywhere in Europe and in the world.

STUDIES

The QuanTEEM study programme results from the collaboration of 3 international universities: Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC), the Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) and Aarhus Universitet (AU) with a strong experience in managing international master programmes in fundamental physics.

QuanTEEM students acquire deep knowledge of the core techniques of Quantum Technologies combined with interdisciplinary and intersectoral education targeting the potential of Quantum Technologies well beyond standard applications limited to physics area. The QuanTEEM curriculum is jointly tailored to comprise all the aspects of Quantum Technologies with a wide spectrum of advanced courses, mainly based on the established quantum pillars:

• Quantum computers and computation 
• Quantum communication 
• Quantum sensing and imaging 
• Quantum simulation and multidisciplinary applications

complemented by other interdisciplinary courses. Our programme combines fundamental learning with advanced instrumental and technological laboratory practical via the state-of-the-art facilities provided by the consortium. The programme aims also at opening the mind on interdisciplinary topics on which Quantum Technologies start to apply, including technological and non-technological issues, such as information technology, chemistry, medicine, economy and humanities and social sciences. All courses in the QuanTEEM programme are taught in English.

In addition, the QuanTEEM programme offers a choice of specializations which defines different possible mobility tracks during the master. After the first semester of core courses at UBFC, complemented by an interdisciplinary winter school, the students can specialize in one of the two proposed tracks during the second semester, designed on the specific expertise of the partners: a specialization in Photonics, Nanophotonics and Enabling Technologies at UBFC and a more theoretical specialization (Integrated Quantum Optics) at RPTU. The third semester offers two specializations: Many-Body Quantum Physics at RPTU and Platforms for Quantum Technologies at AU.
