Description
English version
The aim of this first-semester course is to review the classical techniques of computational physics, using the Python language. After a brief review of the basics of the language and the tools for data analysis and representation, we'll study Monte-Carlo techniques, classical methods of interpolation, integration and differentiation, solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations and solutions of systems of partial differential equations. These notions will serve as a foundation for the concepts that will be further discussed during the second semester course. The lectures are accompanied by exercise sessions on machines

L'objectif du cours de premier semestre est de passer en revue les techniques classiques de physique numérique, à l'aide du langage Python. Après un rappel rapide des bases du langage et des moyens d'analyse et représentation des données, on étudiera entre autres : les techniques de Monte-Carlo, les méthodes classiques d'interpolation, intégration et différentiation, la résolution de systèmes d'équations différentielles ordinaires et la résolution de systèmes d'équations aux dérivées partielles. Ces notions serviront de fondations au concepts qui seront abordés et approfondis durant le cours de second semestre. Les cours sont accompagnées de sessions d'exercices sur machine.

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.
