Presentation

The Materials and Quantum Phenomena Laboratory (MPQ) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 7162)
of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Paris Cité.

Laboratoire MPQ
10 Rue Alice Domon et Léonie Duquet
75013 Paris

The laboratory specializes in the study of frontier quantum materials and the development of novel quantum devices. These activities rely on a broad range of theoretical and experimental expertise in condensed matter physics, transport, and optics, as well as technological platforms for clean-room fabrication, spectroscopy, and high-resolution electronic microscopy.

So far, MPQ has had the following directors:

  • Vincent Berger (2001-2006)
  • Sylvie Rousset (2006-2012)
  • Carlo Sirtori (2012-2018)
  • Cristiano Ciuti (since April 2018)

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...
