Recent research in quantum physics has enabled the mastery of quantum superposition and entanglement, opening doors to the manipulation of photons and atoms, including so-called "artificial" atoms sculpted with micro-electronics tools.
This unprecedented control paves the way for numerous applications, notably quantum computing. Prof. Senellart-Mardon's book describes the beginnings of this adventure, where fundamental research and technological innovation advance hand in hand.
This rapidly growing field is characterized by a blend of technical expertise, aesthetics, extreme scientific ambitions, and intense competition.
“"This unprecedented control paves the way for numerous applications, notably quantum computing."
The publication, titled "Artificial Atoms and Photons at the Heart of a Second Quantum Revolution," is released by the Collège de France in its "Leçons inaugurales" series, number 340.
