"Where is quantum physics hiding in our everyday lives?"

  • Category: Science Bar
  • Dates : February 16, 2023
  • Timetable: 8:30 pm to 10 pm
  • Location: Brasserie Le Dôme - 2, Avenue Georges Clémenceau, Montpellier

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 and profoundly changed the way we see the world.

When we think of quantum physics, we generally think of the infinitely small. Today, however, quantum physics is influencing all aspects of our lives, invading many of our everyday objects and applications: smartphones, computers, GPS, MRI, lasers...

To discuss this science and society topic, three multidisciplinary experts will be on hand to answer questions from the audience:

  • Guillaume Cassabois, teacher-researcher at 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, CNRS research fellow. She is studying fluorescent artificial atoms in diamond and silicon to explore possible applications, such as the creation of quantum networks.
  • Vincent Jacques, Director of Research at the CNRS. His research activities focus on the study of elementary quantum systems for the development of high-sensitivity sensors.
