“Where does quantum physics hide in our daily lives?”
This event has already taken place!
Quantum physics is a body 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 view the world.
When we think of quantum physics, we generally think of the infinitely small. However, it now influences every aspect of our lives, finding its way into many of the devices and objects we use every day: smartphones, computers, GPS, MRI machines, lasers…
To discuss this science and society topic, three multidisciplinary experts will answer questions from the audience live:
- Guillaume Cassabois, Professor the University of Montpellier. His research at the Charles Coulomb Laboratory focuses on semiconductors and their applications in optics and quantum technologies.
- Anaïs Dréau, a research scientist at the CNRS. She studies fluorescent artificial atoms in diamond and silicon to explore potential 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 highly sensitive sensors.
