ENSSAT, a pioneer in quantum physics education with KWANTEACH
ENSSAT, a pioneer in quantum physics education thanks to KWANTEACH
The École Nationale Supérieure des Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie – ENSSAT positions itself at the forefront of pedagogical innovation in quantum sciences. Thanks to the implementation of KWANTEACH from KWAN-TEK, a unique experimental platform for quantum physics education, the Breton’s engineering school offers its students an unparalleled practical and immersive learning experience in France.
KWANTEACH: a revolutionary pedagogical tool
Developed in close collaboration with the ENSSAT teams, KWANTEACH is an experimental device that allows students to explore the foundations of quantum physics in a concrete way. This system, installed within the school’s laboratories, offers students the
opportunity to carry out complex practical work in quantum physics. Pierre GUILLEMÉ, Research Teacher at ENSSAT affirms:
“ENSSAT has been a key player in the development of KWANTEACH. From the very beginning, we were involved, helping to shape a pedagogical tool that meets the specific needs of quantum physics teaching. During its internship, a Master student worked on the implementation of the BASE module which
led to its immediate success among our students. Its ease of use and flexibility have made it possible to offer high-quality practical work from the first year, generating great interest among our students.” KWANTEACH has made quantum physics more concrete and accessible. For the first time at a Master level, it is easily possible to make Quantum physics coming out of the books and into the lab benches. “We are convinced that this tool has a promising future and we plan to expand its use within our institution.”
Enthusiastic feedback
ENSSAT students, such as Thomas GYSENBERG, Jean-Chriso RATSARA, and Maxime BACLET, were unanimous about the pedagogical interest of KWANTEACH. They highlighted the platform’s ease of use, the quality of the proposed manipulations, and the importance of being able to experiment with the theoretical concepts covered in courses.
“As a photonics student at ENSSAT, I was captivated by KWANTEACH. This platform allowed me to transition seamlessly from theory to practice. Thanks to concrete experiments, I gained a deeper understanding of quantum phenomena. KWANTEACH is an essential tool for making learning more dynamic and effective. I highly recommend its use to all physics students.” Testifies Jean-Criso.
KWANTEACH offers total immersion in the quantum world, allowing students to intuitively visualize often complex phenomena. Thanks to a variety of accessible manipulations, the platform promotes the acquisition of solid experimental skills. “Theory is great, but practice is better! At ENSSAT, we combine the best of both worlds thanks to KWANTEACH. Our lab work is dynamic and perfectly complements our courses. It’s a comprehensive
education that inspires you to delve deeper into research.” Explains Thomas.
Finally, KWANTEACH integrates perfectly into the ENSSAT curricula, thus enriching the students’ learning journey
The ENSSAT gives itself the means to teach quantum technologies
By adopting KWANTEACH, the ENSSAT wants to give its students the best tools to understanding quantum physics and confirms its commitment to pedagogical excellence and innovation. The institution thus positions itself among the key players in quantum technologies education in France. This is what Maxime confirms: “KWANTEACH took our quantum physics studies to a whole new level. Being able to manipulate a real experimental setup was incredibly exciting. It was the most engaging lab we’ve done all year, and it definitely sparked our interest in further exploration. This is a must-have tool for any institution teaching quantum physics.”
Promising future prospects
The ENSSAT teams are actively working on the development of KWANTEACH, particularly by improving the user interface and proposing new experiences. In the long term, the objective is to make KWANTEACH a reference platform for quantum technologies education at the national and international level.”
KWAN-TEK develops and markets metrology solutions based on a disruptive technology: diamond quantum sensors. We offer a range of sensitive and stable instruments for various industrial and research applications. Our technology is based on the optical interrogation of a particular defect in diamond, which allows us to measure magnetic fields with high accuracy.
