Master Quantum Information (IQ)

Sorbonne University opens a master program dedicated to Quantum Information in Paris! This program is supported by the Quantum Information Center Sorbonne (QICS), the Computer Science Master Department, and Physics Master Department. Experts from Sorbonne Université labs (LIP6LKBINSPINRIA, etc.) will be part of this program divided into two main specialties the 1st year (computer science and physics) and with a joint course the second year.

Year 1: start in September 2021

Computer science – Quantum information

This program is dedicated to teaching recent research results in quantum algorithmics, quantum cryptography, photonic quantum computing and quantum information theory. It is given in English for an international student audience..

Physics – Quantum information

This program is dedicated to teaching quantum information for physicists. Within the physics first year Master program, we propose two course units:

In the first semester, general training in algorithmic complexity theory to physics students interested in the interface between physics and computer science, in particular quantum information (3 ECTS).

In the second semester, general training in information theory (Shannon theory) to students who want to integrate a Master 2 in research, in particular related to quantum information (6 ECTS).

Note that after this first year, students can either join the joint second year with Computer Science students, but also other physics masters specialized in quantum physics in general.

Year 2: start in September 2022

Year 2 is a joint program in quantum information, delivered in English, accessible from both quantum information year 1 (Computer Science and Physics). It will address both software and hardware state of the art lectures on quantum information, allowing for a complete overview of the domain and providing students with a unique joint background.
