Pint of Science France : from ancient codes to quantum technologies

On May 20, as part of Pint of Science France, Science outreach festival, Dario Fioretto, a researcher at C2N, will explain how quantum computers are shaking up data security methods. An accessible journey through the history and future of secure communication. ➤ All the details    

“Communicate differently ..... at the speed of light”: C2N at the Double Science Festival to show you nanoscience as you've never seen it before !

Light, which travels at around 300,000 kilometers per second (3 × 10⁸ m/s), has become an invaluable tool for transmitting data at very high speeds. Thanks to optical fibers, it travels around the world and forms the heart of the Internet. To exploit this speed, we use photonic chips, tiny components capable of directing light inside very thin circuits. These chips work a bit like electronic circuits, but instead of …
