Témoignages
Mr B.
Hello, I’m a new PhD student in the EQM group, part of CESQ Institute in Strasbourg. I graduated with a Master’s degree in physics at the University of Strasbourg (Diplome de Master de physique, mention Matière Condensée et Nanosciences -MCN-, now Physics of quantum and soft condensed matter -PhyQS- ,ed) in 2023 after completing a first semester in the MCN track and a six-month internship in the Quantum Dynamics of Atomic and Molecular Systems (QD) group in Heidelberg under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Matthias Weidermüller. During this period, I was awarded a QMat scholarship for completing my M.Sc., and I was part of the EFEQT program.
I started a PhD in October 2023 under the supervision of Dr. Tom Bienaimé in the EQM group of Prof. Shannon Whitlock. My experimental project consists of investigating strongly interacting fluids of light propagating through controlled geometries of ultra-cold Rydberg atoms in order to realize new states of photonic quantum matter.
I firmly believe that the curriculum of EFEQT provided me with a fundamental opening regarding my future in quantum science. Indeed, this complementary training program enhances the interactions between students and research groups in quantum science, for example, through participation in meet-ups with many companies dedicated to quantum technologies. In addition, I had the chance to be part of a science hackathon in Heidelberg. This was a great opportunity to work with students from prestigious partner universities in France, the Netherlands, and Germany. Furthermore, the EFEQT network was a big help in finding an internship abroad thanks to several internship proposals in Europe, and in fact, I performed my final year internship at the Physikalisches Institut Heidelberg in the QD group. Finally, EFEQT offers blended courses on quantum science and technologies. Personally, I have chosen a course on Introduction to Quantum Science and Technologies taught by Prof. Shannon Whitlock and Prof. Martin Gärttner. These lectures gave me a fundamental understanding of quantum computing theory.
I do hold a deep interest in cold atom experiments, statistical physics, and condensed matter theory. Among the various and interesting topics on which I had the opportunity to work, I am attracted by the astonishing field of Rydberg atoms. These trapped and excited ultra-cold atoms are a way to explore incredibly many fields in physics, and I would like to devote my professional career towards finding outcomes in my future domain of expertise.
Graduate from Master in Physics, parcours MCN in 2023 (now PhyQS)

Présentation
The "Quantum Technologies - European Program" (QTEP) trains highly qualified quantum physicists and technologists in one of the most dynamic high-tech fields for the industries of the future.
Quantum technologies represent a multidisciplinary field with an inherently strong emphasis on research combined with enormous potential for applications. First generation quantum technologies, such as the transistor, lasers, and atomic clocks have already transformed society through key technologies such as the microprocessor, the internet and GPS. The second quantum revolution promises a new generation of quantum technology which actively exploit quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement to realize new physical effects, enhance the function of materials and nanodevices, and to revolutionize how we process information and learn about our world.
The training program sits at the interface of physics and engineering, with elements of mathematics and computer science. It combines lectures, tutorials and advanced practicals spanning complementary fields such as quantum science, physics of devices, atomic, molecular and optical science, quantum information theory, quantum computing and applications. The Master QTEP graduates thus acquire a broad corpus skills aligned with the European competence framework for quantum technologies and the needs of the growing quantum industry while taking advantage of Unistra's strengths in multidisciplinary research and innovation..
European Master Certification in Quantum Technologies : The QTEP master is strongly integrated in French national and European strategic agendas, to help build the French and European quantum society and industry. Students will have the opportunity to participate to the European DIGIQ project which provides access to a European professional network, complementary courses and digital teaching modules, and international master intersnhip in top-notch research laboratories in academia and industry across Europe.
Merit-based grant : the Master's program is an initiative of the Quantum Science and Nanomaterials (QMat) graduate school, which can provide financial support based on academic academic criteria.
