Program Overview

Master Program in Physics: Fundamental Physics, Quantum Engineering, and Condensed Matter (PFIQMC)

Overview

The Master PFIQMC program offers a high-level theoretical, experimental, and numerical education in the fields of fundamental physics, physics of matter, and quantum technologies.

Presentation of the Program

The PFIQMC program aims to train generalist physicists with a broad scientific culture and a perfect understanding of the physical properties of matter, from the atomic to the macroscopic scale, including the nanometric scale. The program is structured around three complementary axes:

• Exploration of the panorama of major theories in physics of matter
• Training in the fundamental aspects and practical applications of quantum technologies
• Training in the latest advances in condensed matter physics and their applications in the high-tech sector

Admission

Prerequisites

• Level of recruitment: Bac + 3
• Required formation: Students must have a degree in Physics (or Physics-Chemistry) to access this program

Application

• Application modalities: Selection on the national application platform for masters, e-candidat
• Specific application modalities: Application on the e-candidat platform

Program Details

• Duration of the program: 2 years
• Location of teachings: Toulouse - 118 rte de Narbonne
• The Master benefits from the nanotechnology and quantum technology facilities of the Inter-University Microelectronics Workshop (AIME) and the research laboratories on the campus

Syllabus

The syllabus is available in PDF format and includes a presentation of the year, the program of each Teaching Unit (UE) with associated bibliography, as well as the coordinates of the teacher in charge and the secretariat of the training.

Stages

• In Master 1, a minimum 6-7 week internship in a company or laboratory is mandatory
• In Master 2, the internship is a minimum of 5 months in a company or laboratory

Tutoring Projects

In M1 and M2, students work on numerical projects around physical problems In M1, students set up an experimental project for instrumentation

After the Program

Skills

• Mobilize fundamental concepts to model, analyze, and solve complex physics problems
• Propose an experimental protocol adapted to a given physical problem
• Use a programming language to simulate a physical problem and interpret experimental data
• Know different data analysis techniques

Further Studies

Students can pursue their studies with a doctorate in Physics, then with a post-doctoral fellowship in France or abroad

Career Opportunities

Teacher-researcher, researcher in the field of physics of matter or quantum technologies, engineer in research and development laboratories, particularly in high-tech industries and companies.
