VMD est incroyable. ça va faire 20 ans que je l'écoute parler et que je la croise de temps en temps, je ne sais pas comment elle fait. Elle a un ton d'une justesse époustouflante pour faire passer ses messages, dialoguer sans transiger.

Saïda Guellati-Khelifa and her team achieved a precise determination of the fine-structure constant using atom interferometry. They developed an in situ method to probe the wave-vector dispersion as experienced by atoms within the vacuum chamber, using a Bose–Einstein condensate as a moving probe.

Pauline Yzombard helped achieve the first laser cooling of trapped negative ions, implementing a decades-old theoretical method just months before the project’s funding ended. Her work revived a long-stalled project and opened new possibilities for precision experiments with anions.

Nancy Paul and her team performed the first demonstration of a quantum X-ray sensor (microcalorimeter) with an atom composed of antimatter. These experimental techniques open a new window for studying fundamental theories such as quantum electrodynamics.

Valentina Parigi and her team are working at the interface between network science and quantum optics. The team experimentally demonstrated an optical simulator for open quantum systems with complex network environments. This system provided an ideal testbed for studying quantum non-Markovianity.

Elisabeth Giacobino is not only the president of the French Physical Society; she also has a rich research career filled with groundbreaking results. Elisabeth and her team demonstrated that an optical parametric oscillator consisting of a nonlinear crystal pumped by a laser emits twin quantum beams

Have you ever heard that women have more chances than men of getting grants or positions in academia? Of course you have, and here are my personal views on this. With the shocking revelation that no, it is NOT TRUE ! (1/n)
