QuanTEEM Master programme
The Quantum Technologies and Engineering Erasmus Mundus Master (QuanTEEM) is a diploma of excellence funded by the European Union Erasmus+ program and supported by the collaboration between 3 international universities: Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC) in France, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK) in Germany and Aarhus Universitet (AU) in Denmark. With a program around quantum technologies, it is open to high-level international students from all over the world who want to study in Europe.
QuanTEEM offers a comprehensive program 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, the Department of Physics at TUK and the Center for Complex Quantum Systems at AU.
The programme 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.
QuanTEEM students acquire deep knowledge of the core techniques of Quantum Technologies combined with interdisciplinary and intersectoral education. It targets 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
It is complemented by other interdisciplinary courses. The 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, humanities and social sciences. All courses in the QuanTEEM programme are taught in english.
The QuanTEEM programme offers a choice of specializations which defines different mobility tracks during the master.
> 1st semester : core courses at UBFC and interdisciplinary winter school
> 2nd semester : specialization in one of the two proposed tracks:
- specialization in photonics at UBFC
- a more theoretical specialization (many-body quantum physics) at TUK
> 3rd semester : specialization in one of the two proposed tracks:
- integrated quantum optics at TUK
- platforms for Quantum Technologies at AU
All applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science or equivalent degree in Science. Background knowledge in general physics, optics, electromagnetism and quantum physics is mandatory. Candidates must have very good academic qualifications.
All applicants, except native English speakers, must provide recent evidence of their proficiency in English through one of the following documents:
- TOEFL: minimum score: 600 points (paper) or 95 points (internet) or 250 (computer-based)
- IELTS: minimum score of 6.5
- Cambridge English First (FCE) – Grade A or B
- Certificate of a University Language Centre testifying that the student
masters the necessary knowledge of English to function academically
(specify CEF-level / minimum CEF-level B2)
The best students will be awarded a scholarship of 1400€/ month during 24 months. Approximately 20 scholarships are awarded each year
Our mission is to educate top skilled experts and quantum engineers with multi-disciplinary approaches in physics, chemistry, materials science (including nanostructures), and computer science, serving as the backbone of the programme and to provide to students an international network as well as a genuine European learning, an integrated cultural and multilanguage experience.
Students graduating from the QuanTEEM program will have the ability to be recruited in the numerous private companies active in the field of QT, 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.
The Master program is taught in Dijon (France), Kaiserslautern (Germany) and Aarhus (Denmark).
