Quantum Imaging Paris
We are an experimental quantum optics group in the Paris Institute of Nanosciences at Sorbonne University, located in the center of Paris. We aim at exploring and harnessing quantum properties of light for applications in imaging and information processing. The group is led by Dr. Hugo Defienne, CNRS researcher.
