About
I am a physicist, developing novel nanomaterials for quantum technologies. My goal is to implement novel tools for coherent information processing, and ultimately useful for integrated photonics, combining optical, electrical, and acoustic interfaces, nanotechnology, and integration capabilities.
In February 2023, I started as a junior Professor chair at the PSL University, ChimieParisTech, at the CQSD group.
Previously, I was developing integrated interfaces for photonics quantum computing, as a Postdoc at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. I was working on solid-state quantum memories for efficient quantum communication at the University of Geneva.
I completed my PhD in 2016 at the University of Geneva, at the Group of Applied Physics.
Research
Rare-earth ion materials
Rare-earth ions are promising candidates for solid-state quantum memories, because of the long-lifetime optical and spin transitions.
Optical and spin high resolution spectroscopy, spectral hole burning and optically detected magnetic resonance help to optimise various quantum memory protocols.
Quantum interfaces
The solid-state platform enables to address a broad range of applications, from quantum information processing, communication and quantum sensing, to spectral analysis and medical imaging.
The implementation of efficient quantum memory, on chip single photon sources and practical quantum sensors is particularly intriguing.
Nanophotonics
Optical programmable processors may revolutionize the field of quantum computing, artificial intelligence and imaging processing.
Adding novel integrated functionalities, such as, quantum storage and nonlinear operations require the development of novel nanophotonic platforms.
