Several of our researchers are participating in the Pint of Science festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. It is one of the largest science festivals in the world. Until May 24th, researchers and the general public come together over a drink in 26 countries and 400 cities, including 50 cities in France.
Alain Sacuto
Alain Sacuto was a guest on the CQFD program on France Culture to talk about superconductivity.
The podcast can be found here and a short video here
Our laboratory was also well represented for direct interactions with the general public this week at Le Corvisart bar (43 bd Blanqui, 75013). Alain Sacuto took the stage on Tuesday evening, followed by Amandine Bellec, Sarah Houver, and Clément Barraud on Wednesday evening for three-person presentations.

Also, don’t miss the talk by Pérola Milman discussing quantum internet on CQFD.
Have a great week at Pint of Science!

The sky of quantum light is not flat
In a recent study, researchers from the QITE team at MPQ and from the department of Mathematics of ENS have refined the mathematical framework needed to coherently describe quantum states involving multiple photons. (Left) When the phase reference is explicitly...
An optomechanical disk in its fundamental state of motion
The motion of a mesoscopic mechanical resonator can exhibit quantum behavior when cooled to very low temperatures. In particular, it can reach its ground state and cease to vibrate. Using light as a probe, the LIME team at the MPQ laboratory demonstrated that...
Exact low-energy duality in superconducting quantum circuits
The THEORIE team, in collaboration with Michel H. Devoret, has published a theoretical study in Physical Review Letters demonstrating an exact low-energy duality in circuits where a Josephson junction is coupled to a multi-mode environment. These systems exhibit a...
