Jean-Philippe Brantut

Expertise Quantum optics, quantum simulation, strongly correlated Fermions, cavity quantum electrodynamics, mesoscopic physics Current work See our group website for details I did my PhD at the Institut d'Optique under the direction of Philippe Bouyer and Alain Aspect, before moving to ETHZ in the group of Tilman Esslinger, first as a post-doc then as a senior scientist. There I developed in particular the method allowing for a quantum simulation of nano-electronic devices with ultracold quantum gases.Since september 2016, I lead the Laboratory for Quantum Gases EPFL. There, my group has developed the first cold atoms machines combining Fermi gases with cavity-quantum electrodynamics. We use it to explore new ways of measuring and manipulating quantum matter, for quantum simulation applications.
