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...
Valerio Flavio Gili has been awarded with the Chancellery Prize of the Universities of Paris 2019 for his thesis “All-dielectric nonlinear nanophotonics” carried out under the supervision of Giuseppe Leo. The awards ceremony has taken place in the main...
Giuseppe Leo, Professor at University of Paris and head of the DON team at laboratory MPQ, has been elected Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA).“Being named an OSA Fellow is a singular honor and indicates a history of achievement in optics and photonics,...
How to weigh and identify a virus using an optomechanical device? The european projet VIRUSCAN, in which Ivan Favero and his team are involved, is popularized in a small video project “Brève de science” by the CNRS. À lire aussi Excitonic insulator: when...
Researchers from laboratory Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques have shown that crystalline nanomechanical resonators are affected by surface fluctuation mechanisms that are ubiquitous in condensed matter. High-Q nanomechanical resonators are becoming central with the...
A collaboration between the QUAD and DON teams has resulted in the development of a new, high-speed device for detecting Terahertz waves. This sensor combines concepts from electromagnetics and nano-optomechanics. While visible light plays a prominent role in our...
