C2N solidarity with the Russian scientific community

We support the initiative of our Russian colleagues who, in an  open letter already signed by several thousands of scientists, protest against the hostilities launched by the armed forces of their country in Ukraine.

We join them in stressing that their many international collaborations should continue and can only be carried out in a climate of peace.

C2N has several collaborations with Russian researchers, in particular through the International Research Project PHYNICS, the scientist in charge and several participants of which have signed the open letter.

Controlling carbon nanotube photoluminescence using silicon microring resonators

By depositing carbon nanotubes on ring-shaped micro-resonators, researchers at C2N (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) managed to control the light emitted by the nanotubes. This technology could be optimized for future applications in optical telecommunications or integrated circuits for microelectronics. This work was published in the journal Nanotechnology.

Coherent control of an artificial atom with few photons

In an optical quantum network, the information is transferred from one node to an other through light. A possible building block for such quantum network is an atom in a cavity. Ideally, every photon sent on the node should interact with the atom. Researchers at C2N, in collaboration with Institut Néel (Grenoble, France) have demonstrated the coherent control of an artificial atom with few photons. The quantum node …
