Quantum Technologies and Engineering Erasmus Mundus Master

ongoing

QuanTEEM proposes an Erasmus Mundus master’s joint programme in the booming field of quantum technology, with the ambition of educating a new generation of industrial experts, engineers, and researchers, as quantum innovators. The consortium of QuanTEEM is composed of three highly experienced partners in the field of quantum technology both in research and educational aspects: uB, TUK and AU. It has been designed to integrate their complementary strengths supplemented by numerous industrial associated partners. QuanTEEM will develop strategies based on internationalisation (including interculturality), interdisciplinarity, intersectorality and innovation, for a unique joint programme in Europe. The programme is based on the established quantum pillars: quantum communication, quantum simulations, quantum sensing, quantum computers and computation, and quantum information sciences, towards innovation. It addresses aspects and applications ranging from basic research in physics and beyond to major grand challenges as energy, materials, health, security and environment, to which quantum technologies has started to apply. QuanTEEM will fill the skill shortage gap via the combination of strong research, excellent teaching, novel didactics concepts, and intersectorality via a strong industrial involvement. We will train high-level students with multifaceted qualification, who will have the ability (i) to be recruited in private companies active in the field of quantum technologies, (ii) to embark on a top-class PhD programme in laboratories or private companies, or (iii) to create a start-up. The consortium agreed on joint organisational and educational elements, such as core and elective courses, complemented by two seasonal schools, and master thesis internships. QuanTEEM offers numerous possibilities of mobility combined with specializations: photonics, quantum materials, many-body quantum physics, integrated quantum optics and platforms for quantum technologies.
