Molecular Quantum Spintronics
To move quantum physics toward real-world information and energy applications, our physics team builds solid-state devices containing nano-objects, and addresses their quantum properties using spintronics. Since molecules are practical entities to manipulate when controlling an atom’s quantum properties, we grow and locally characterize molecular films, before inserting them into spintronic structures thanks to unique nanotechnologies.

Nano-optics and low-dimensional materials
Activities Our research focuses on light-matter interactions in low-dimensional quantum materials. We develop experimental techniques inspired by optical spectroscopy, nano-optomechanics and device physics to investigate hybrid systems, notably van der Waals heterostructures made from two-dimensional materials such as graphene, atomically-thin semiconductors and magnets. We explore novel optical phenomena and quantum phases of matter, either inherited […]
Mesoscopic Quantum Physics
The team of Mesoscopic quantum physics works on quantum effects in condensed matter systems like the quantum transport of electrons in nanostructured samples. The aim is to capture the physical mechanisms underlying a given phenomenon, providing qualitative and quantitative descriptions of experimental data. Firstly, a suitable model which is mathematically tractable and containing the essential […]
Advanced Materials & Nanodevices
Our scientific research is focused on the understanding of nanoscale materials (2D materials, quantum dots, thin films, molecules) to get insight into novel properties emerging from reduced dimension, interfaces and surfaces. We study their electrical, optical, ferroelectric and magneto-transport properties. These phenomena are investigated using a broad palette of electrical (impedance spectroscopy, transconductance, …), optical […]
