We do theoretical and digital physics. We specialize in photonics, the quantum science of light. We are in the era of the second quantum revolution. There is a craze for a better understanding of light-matter interactions from a fundamental point of view in order to cope with the next generation of quantum devices. This is where our adventure begins.
Our tools are theoretical physics, including analytical modeling and numerical simulations, as close as possible to experiments.
The group is also developing research activities in the science of teaching and learning, as well as in the popularization of science.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship

Our team is looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral candidate to develop a competitive application for the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA PF). The successful candidate will propose a cutting-edge research project related to the general themes of twisted photonic crystals, superradiance or quantum batteries.
