Paris-Basel seminar at Ecole normale supérieure
The 11th edition of the Paris-Basel seminar was held on May, 19th and 20th.
For this edition, researchers from Philipp Treutlein’s group at the University of Basel have come to Paris for a two-day session. Subjects as varied as cavity optomechanics, cavity QED, quantum metrology or spin squeezing were discussed by our two groups along with invited speakers from LKB, LTE-Syrte in Paris and ECQS in Strasbourg.

MiTra receives ERC PoC grant
Our miniature greenhouse gas analyzer project has been awarded an ERC Proof-of-Concept (PoC) grant. This will boost our development of an ultracompact yet very accurate analyzer based on our fiber Fabry-Perot microcavity technology. It will measure the concentration of greenhouse gases with an accuracy and stability rivaling state-of-the art instruments, but in a handheld, drone-mountable form factor – less then one tenth the weight and one hundreth the volume of existing instruments.
