The CNRS has just announced the awarding of its 2026 Gold Medal to Jacqueline Bloch, CNRS research director at C2N.

Jacqueline Bloch is an internationally recognized specialist in light-matter interaction. With her team, she explores the physics of polaritons, quantum fluids of light manipulated in semiconductor microcavities, to probe phenomena as varied as superfluidity, topology, and non-equilibrium phase transitions. Having …

Getting memory directly involved in optimization computation: a new approach explored for solving complex problems

This is the major result of collaborative work carried out between CEA-Leti, SPINTEC, and C2N, which has just been published in Nature Communications. Instead of separating memory and processing as in conventional computers, the researchers combined two complementary …

Pulse generation by on-chip dispersion compensation at 8 μm wavelength

The mid-infrared spectral region holds growing importance for applications such as gas sensing and spectroscopy, and compact ultrashort pulse laser sources are essential to enable these applications. However, the fast gain dynamics of intersubband transitions hinders the direct generation …
