European Center for Quantum Sciences

Centre Européen de Sciences Quantiques (CESQ)

CESQ is a transnational quantum research and educational hub of the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS. We build upon an exceptional tradition of interdisciplinary research in Strasbourg that covers quantum physics chemistry, materials science, photonics and computing. CESQ provides an open environment for collaborations, training and innovation with state-of-the-art experimental and theory research.

CESQ is part of the interdisciplinary institute of excellence “ISIS – Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires” (UMR 7006).

Tom van Meer, new PhD student in Johannes Schachenmayer group

We are pleased to welcome Tom, who joined the group of Johannes Schachenmayer on October 1st to explore new approaches to simulating quantum circuits. Before arriving in Strasbourg, Tom completed his Master’s degrees in Physics and Astronomy and Mathematics at the University of Amsterdam. His PhD project, entitled “Entanglement-optimized quantum circuit simulations”, focuses on developing […]

A new member joining Guido Pupillo’s lab: Rosario Riso.

Anjali Jayachandran, PhD student in Thomas Ebbesen and Cyriaque Genet’s group, successfully defended her thesis titled “Fundamental physical chemistry of vibrational strong coupling.” In it, she studies vibrational strong coupling, a technique based on quantum light-matter interaction that modifies chemical reactivity and material properties without the need for light illumination or real photons. The challenge: […]
