Laura Corman, Winner of the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Fellowship
Laura Corman, a PhD student in Jean Dalibard’s team, received one of the 20 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science national fellowships on October 1st, for her work on “atoms guided by light.”
She was selected, along with 19 other women, from over 821 candidates by an independent jury of 7 renowned scientists, who wished to recognize the scientific excellence of her innovative research, as well as her ability to inspire future generations with her passion for science. Throughout 2016, these fellows will engage with us to visit high schools and interact with over 16,000 students to raise awareness about scientific careers.
The L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Fellowships are an opportunity to increase the visibility and legitimacy of women in science, at a time when only 30% of researchers are women.

Researchers have successfully observed the free expansion of a quantum wave packet of a single atom in continuous space. Using a novel imaging technique that combines optical trapping and quantum gas microscopy, they tracked with unprecedented precision the spreading of the probability density associated with an atom released from its trap.
