Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies
Nanophysics - Quantum physics 1st year
Presentation and goals
The Master Nanosciences Nanotechnologies is divided into three first-year tracks, corresponding to different disciplines within the field of nanosciences.
The M1 Nanophysics and Quantum Physics offers fundamental courses in condensed matter physics (quantum physics, solid state physics...) oriented towards the study of matter at the nanometer scale.
It gives access to the second-year programs :
- M2 Nanophysics
- M2 Quantum Information and Quantum Engineering
- M2 Engineering of Micro and Nanostructures (alternating education/work)
This course also enables students to acquire multidisciplinary skills thanks to a wide range of courses and practical works covering the entire disciplinary field of nanosciences.
This training is strongly supported by research units in Grenoble working in this field, thus offering students numerous internship opportunities.
This program is open to international students. All courses are given in English.
For more information, visit the page of the M1 Nanophysics and Quantum Physics on the website of the Master Nanosciences Nanotechnologies.
This M1 gives also access to the Graduate School program Quantum, supported by the QuantAlps research federation.
Organization
The curriculum of the first years contains :
- compulsory disciplinary courses in fundamental physics
- elective transversal courses in nanosciences and nanotechnologies
- experimental trainings in clean rooms and laboratories
- a research internship in a laboratory during 2 months
The M1 "Nanophysics and Quantum Physics" gives acces to three M2 programs :
- Master 2 "Nanophysics" (NP) : this international program provides courses on elaboration, advanced characterization, and in-depth physics of nanostructures based on metals, dielectrics, and semiconductors (transport properties, optical properties, magnetic properties). The program is well suited to the needs of the academic laboratories in Grenoble, offering many opportunities for internships and PhD thesis.
- Master 2 "Quantum Information and Quantum Engineering" (QIQE) : this international program provides expertise at the interface between fundamental and experimental aspects of quantum physics, with the aim to control quantum systems and quantum bits in the vision of their applications in the field of quantum communication and quantum information processing. It also proposes multidisciplinary courses at the interface with mathematics and computer science. This program is fully consistent with the recent developments of quantum technologies in Grenoble and worldwide, offering many opportunities for internships and PhD thesis.
- Master 2 "Ingénierie des Micro et Nanostructures" (IMN) : this program in French language provides a multidisciplinary training in physical-chemistry, covering the elaboration of nanomaterials and thin films, the associated characterizations (chemical, optical, microscopy) and the application fields related to different industrial sectors (mainly microelectronic and photovoltaic devices). The training alternates between periods of education and periods of work in a company.
The Master program "Nanophysics and Quantum Physics" gives you the opportunity to apply to the "Quantum" thematic program of the UGA Graduate School :
- The objective of the Graduate School is to offer a training of academic excellence, combining university studies and laboratory internships.
- Each program gathers students registered in different Master tracks or Engineer schools and working together in specific courses.
- Participation to the Graduate School is for two years (M1 and M2) and opens the possibility to obtain a two-years academic scholarship for the best international students (non-French baccalaureate holders).
