The C2N, supported by its supervisory institutions (CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, and Université Paris Cité), is proud to collaborate in the QDlight joint laboratory dedicated to quantum photonics. This six-year partnership aims to address major challenges:
- Designing innovative quantum light emitters,
- Developing advanced protocols in quantum photonics,
- Optimizing devices based on semiconductor quantum dots,
- Creating networks and graphs of entangled photons.
With the expertise of its teams and its cutting-edge infrastructure, the C2N will play a key role in this initiative, pushing the boundaries of quantum computing and shaping its future.
The QDlight joint laboratory was inaugurated on November 13 at the C2N in the presence of the key participants : Thierry Dauxois (Director of the CNRS Institute of Physics and Scientific Director for CNRS at Paris-Saclay), Giancarlo Faini (Director of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology), Camille Galap (President of Université Paris-Saclay), Valérian Giesz (Co-founder and COO of Quandela), Antoine Kouchner (Vice-President for Strategic International Relations at Université Paris Cité), Pascale Senellart-Mardon (CNRS Research Director and Co-founder of Quandela), and Niccolo Somaschi (Co-founder and CEO of Quandela).
