Direct observation of the reduction of a molecule on nitrogen doped graphene
Graphene is a two dimensional, material made of a carbon atomic plane, with exceptional physical properties that make it full of promises for applications in various fields. The realization of new functionalities for advanced devices is highly desirable and can be...
A protective cage for the transport of giant spin signals
Faced with the technological and societal challenges represented by the storage, transfer and processing of computer data, electronic devices exploiting the quantum nature of electrons have been integrated for many years in the computers, smartphones and other...

Revealing the secrets of anisotropic nanoalloy synthesis
The synthesis of nanomaterials by chemical routes has long been developed empirically due to the lack of techniques to probe the dynamics of nano-objects in liquid media. In recent years, so-called "in-situ" approaches have emerged on all the techniques that allow...
Cristiano Ciuti winner of the Friedel-Volterra Prize from the SFP and SIF
Prof. Cristiano Ciuti, head of the MPQ laboratory, has been awarded the prestigious Friedel-Volterra Prize from the French and Italian Physical Societies (SFP and SIF), "for his outstanding contributions to light-matter interactions and cavity quantum electrodynamics...
Florent Baboux is awarded an Emergence(s) project by the city of Paris
Florent Baboux has been awarded an Emergence(s) project by the City of Paris (2020-2024) for the QITE team, focused on the use of non-linear waveguide lattices for quantum information. The "LATTICE" project aims to develop compact sources of spatially entangled...
Spontaneous photon-pair generation from a dielectric nanoantenna
The optical realization of a quantum computer, secure quantum communications and imaging requires fast and reliable generation of single photons and their quantum superpositions. Future quantum optical sources should be small as they will need to be integrated into...
