“Where does quantum physics hide in our daily lives?”

Quantum physics is a set of physical theories that seek to explain the behavior of atoms and particles. This major scientific revolution, which began in the early 20th century, has enabled the development of modern technologies while profoundly changing the way we see the world.

When we think of quantum physics, we generally think of the infinitely small. However, it now influences our entire lives, finding its way into many everyday uses and objects: smartphones, computers, GPS, MRI, lasers, etc.

To discuss this topic of science and society, three multidisciplinary experts will answer questions from the audience live:

• Guillaume Cassabois, Professor the University of Montpellier. His research activities at the Charles Coulomb Laboratory focus on semiconductors and their applications in optics and quantum technologies.

• Anaïs Dréau, research fellow at the CNRS. She studies fluorescent artificial atoms in diamond and silicon to explore possible applications, such as the creation of quantum networks.

• Vincent Jacques, research director at the CNRS. His research focuses on the study of elementary quantum systems for the development of high-sensitivity sensors.
