Objectives
The M2 QLMN : Quantum, Light, Materials and Nano Sciences offers a specialization through three tracks with transversal courses addressing fundamental concepts, and courses more in relation to the chosen orientation:
- "Light and Matter" addresses the major fields of Physics in connection with light, diluted matter (atoms, molecules, solids, plasmas) and their interaction. It focuses on the quantum properties of media interacting with light.
- "Condensed matter and its interfaces" addresses the main fields of Physics related to condensed matter and its interfaces, from fundamental quantum properties to nanomaterials.
- "Nanodevices and Technologies" covers the fundamental courses in the different domains of nanosciences associated to advanced training in micro and nano fabrication techniques and experimental study of physical phenomena.
For each track, it is possible to address both theoretical and experimental aspects, ranging from fundamentals to a wide range of applications in domains as varied as quantum technologies, sources of intense radiation, nanoelectronics, biosciences, nanophotonics, spintronics, optoelectronics, functional materials, or image sciences…The internship, lasting at least 18 weeks, can be carried out in France or abroad.
Fees and scholarships
The amounts may vary depending on the programme and your personal circumstances.
