Research
Quantum Networks
The team focuses on experimental and theoretical researches to develop the scientific and technical abilities for the realization of quantum networks, with applications to the distribution and processing of quantum information. These works include the development of light-matter interfaces for quantum data storage, the generation, characterization and manipulation of various non-classical states of light, and the implementation of networking protocols using these resources.This research involves fundamental and more applied studies in quantum optics, light-matter interaction, non-linear optics, photon detection and nanophotonics.
Multimode Quantum Optics
In the multimode quantum optics group, we study the fundamental quantum properties and applications of light with many degrees of freedom (i.e. modes). Our activities are both theoretical and experimental, and the applications we consider range from quantum-inspired metrology and imaging, all the way to quantum information processing. We are mainly interested in the continuous-variable approach to light, which means that we rely on measurements of the electromagnetic field itself through homodyne detection.
Quantum Fluids of Light
In Quantum Fluids of Light team, we investigate the behavior of light when it behaves like a quantum gas. Our research focuses on the intersection of quantum optics, cold atoms and condensed matter, exploring how light in nonlinear media can form quantum fluids with properties similar to those of superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates. By studying these exotic states of light, we aim to uncover new phenomena and develop potential applications in quantum technologies, such as advanced sensing, computing, and simulation.
NanoPhotonics
In the NanoOptics Lab, we explore the intersection of nanotechnology and quantum optics. Our research focuses on the manipulation of light at the nanoscale using semiconductor nanocrystals and diamond defects integrated with nanofibers. By harnessing these advanced materials, we investigate their unique optical properties for applications in quantum communication, sensing, and photonic devices. Through our work, we aim to unlock new possibilities in quantum technologies, bridging the gap between fundamental research and real-world innovation.
