Who am I?
I am a theoretical physics researcher, with a particular interest in statistical physics and quantum physics. I am currently working on topological photonics and open quantum systems.
As a side project, I am the scientific community manager of « Le Lab Quantique », a nonprofit whose goal is to support the different actors of the French quantum ecosystem (companies, startups, academic laboratories, scientific media, students).
My research
During summer 2024, I worked with Iacopo Carusotto, and the team of Philippe St-Jean on topological photonics in synthetic dimensions:
- Chénier, A., d'Aligny, B., Pellerin, F., Blanchard, P. É., Ozawa, T., Carusotto, I., & St-Jean, P. (2024). Quantized Hall drift in a frequency-encoded photonic Chern insulator. arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.04347. (https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.04347)
I am currently working on the physics of arrays of coupled nonlinear microcavities with Alexandre Le Boité and Giuliano Orso. I am particularly interested in their phase-space representations and how to simulate them numerically using stochastic approaches (truncated Wigner …). In my opinion, my work should have an impact in the areas of polariton physics, cavity QED, circuit QED.
Discover quantum
I do my best to popularize quantum physics and make it accessible to as many people as possible. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or remarks:
As the scientific community manager of Le Lab Quantique, I help students write popular science articles about quantum technologies:
Here are a few initiatives which promote research, collaboration and education in the quantum sciences field:
If you want to join Le Lab Quantique, you can send me a message at bosco@lelabquantique.com. We would be glad to welcome you if you want to organize hackathons, seminars, networking events, find fundings, support scientific journalism … But you can also just enjoy our events; I can add you to our discord and whatsapp groups on which our community chats regularly.
