Année de l'ingénierie: a video at the heart of C2N's research on the photonic quantum computer

As part of the Année de l'ingénierie, CNRS is partnering with Bloom Média to make engineering, its scientific research and its professions accessible, tangible and appealing. C2N illustrates this collaboration through a video devoted to its research on the photonic quantum computer. Follow Pascale Senellart, CNRS research director at C2N and co-founder of the start-up Quandela, inside our clean room, discovering this technology.

The C2N is coordinating CIRCULIGHT, a Horizon Europe project aimed at revolutionizing integrated photonics.

The C2N coordinates CIRCULIGHT (Circulating Light on Any Photonic Platform), a project funded by the European Innovation Council under the Horizon Europe EIC Pathfinder programme. Bringing together nine partners from six European countries — including seven research institutions and two industrial partners — the project started in April 2024 and will run for 42 months.
