M2 Physics of Quantum and Soft Condensed Matter (PhyQS)

The PhyQS Master aims to provide physicists with a broad fundamental training in condensed matter physics, suitable for both experimental and theoretical research.

The first semester of the PhyQS track includes a core advanced courses on quantum mechanics applied to condensed matter physics, statistical physics and radiation-matter interaction. In parallel, students can, through their choice of elective courses, orient their training either towards quantum sciences and nanomaterials (electronic, optical, magnetic, spintronic properties of low-dimensional, mesoscopic or open quantum systems…), or towards the physics of soft matter and complex systems (surfaces and interfaces, complex fluids, colloids, active matter…).

A project focusing of modern topics in condensed matter physics is proposed during the first semester. This project can be experimental, numerical or both.

The second semester consists in a research internship of at least four months.
