My research backgroun<\/em>d:<\/em><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I did my thesis at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel in quantum optics, studying the coupling between Cesium atoms and a laser in an optical cavity, to modify the quantum properties of the laser and the atoms. I did a post-doc at Harvard, where I built an experiment producing an intense jet of ultracold Rubidium atoms. I was recruited to the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers to build an experiment producing chromium quantum gases: the Bose-Einstein condensate and the Fermi sea. Chromium atoms have a large magnetic moment, which enables them to interact at a distance, with magnetic dipolar interactions. My current research focuses on the study of chromium atoms trapped in optical lattices: we aim to measure the spin-related quantum properties of these atoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
