The Master 2 QMI aims to present the theoretical aspects, both mathematical and informatics, of the quantum revolution. Courses are held at various partner institutions in the dynamic Saclay plateau, a world-class quantum research hub with several major start-ups and corporate laboratories. It also draws on the ecosystem of the QUANTUM@Paris-Saclay center.
The QMI Master’s (Master 2) is a one-year, full-time program taught in English, dedicated to quantum technologies. Based on the Saclay plateau near Paris — France’s leading scientific hub — it is jointly offered by top institutions including Télécom Paris, École Polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay, and CentraleSupélec.
The curriculum includes 14 in-depth courses covering all theoretical, mathematical, and computational aspects of quantum information, from cryptography to error correction codes.
The program also offers strong industry connections with key quantum players like Quandela, Pasqal, Alice & Bob, and IBM, preparing graduates for careers in both academia and the quantum tech industry.
