The department has two essential tasks, research and teaching.
World-leading research at the ENS physics department, both experimental and theoretical, covers a large part of fundamental physics and its interfaces. Research fields across laboratories of the ENS physics department are as follows: Quantumphysics: fromcold atoms to condensed matter
Biophysics: from the cell to the organism
Non-linear physics and hydrodynamics: from the lab to the cosmos
Theoretical and statistical physics
Research groups are organised into two laboratories, namely:
The ENS physics department also organizes a high-level physics teaching at different levels: undergraduate (last year) and master levels (2 years). The teaching program at the department stresses the early contact of students with research.
Doctoral level. The ENS physics department manages the Doctoral School for fundamental physics of the Greater Paris area (Ecole Doctorale Physique en Île-de-France- ED PIF)
An ‘agregation’ program which educates about 20% of the high-level high-school physics teachers at the national level.
All programs are run in coordination with the main other research universities and institutions in the Paris area.
The department also oversees several of the entrance examinations for the future ENS students.

Around World War one, the Physics laboratory at ENS was based in a much too small space, quite derelict. In spite of these difficult conditions, it had a remarkably brilliant activity under the lead of H. Abraham and A. Cotton. H. Abraham is (...) | ↦ Read more
