Defense research and innovation: launch of a new call for ASTRID projects on quantum technologies
in order to support research projects on themes of interest for the civil and defense fields, the National Research Agency (ANR) and the Defense Innovation Agency (AID) are launching a call for projects ASTRID focused on quantum technologies, operated by ANR and fully funded by AID. The deadline for submitting proposals is September 30, 2020 at 1 p.m.
Des puces semiconductrices pour l’ingénierie d’états quantiques de haute dimension
L’équipe QITe du Laboratoire Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques en collaboration avec le Centre de Nanoscience et Nanotechnologies a démontré deux nouvelles techniques de génération et de manipulation de paires de photons intriqués en fréquence, en utilisant des puces semiconductrices (AlGaAs) miniaturisées.

Ramsey Interferences and Spin Echoes from Electron Spins Inside a Levitating Macroscopic Particle
The group of Gabriel Hétet of SIRTEQ has reported on observations of Ramsey interferences and spin echoes from electron spins inside a levitating macroscopic particle. The experiment is realized using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers hosted in a micron-sized diamond stored in a Paul trap both under atmospheric conditions and under vacuum.

Synthetic three-dimensional atomic structures assembled atom by atom
The Quantum optics group of SIRTEQ has demontrasted the assembly of defect-free, arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional arrays, containing up to 72 single atoms using holographic methods
Graphene quantum boxes: new quantum emitters at room temperature
Two group of SIRTEQ JS Lauret’s at LAC and Y Chassagneux at LPA’s, in collaboration with LICSEN and the Max Planck Institute (Mainz) have shown that it is possible to access to the intrinsic properties of quantum graphene boxes composed of 96 carbon atoms
Ytterbium: the quantum memory of tomorrow
Researchers from IRCP, working closely with UNIGE , have discovered
a new material that can be used to store and repeat the quantum signal rapidly – could this be the beginning of a global
quantum network?
