Quentin Glorieux
Quantum physicist, trail runner and mountain climber.
Short biography. After his engineering degree at Institut d’Optique and his Master degree at École Polytechnique, Quentin Glorieux went to graduate school at Paris Diderot University. In 2010, he earned a PhD in quantum optics at the laboratory Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques under the supervision of Pr. Thomas Coudreau, demonstrating the generation of multi-spatial-mode entangled states using four-wave mixing in hot atomic vapors. He then joined Paul Lett’s group at NIST Gaithersburg as a postdoctoral fellow in the Laser Cooling group directed by William Phillips.
He was awarded a Marie Curie European IOF fellowship in 2011 to initiate a project on multimode quantum memories with NIST, the Australian National University and the group of Nicolas Gisin at the University of Geneva. In September 2013, he started as Associate Professor at Sorbonne University in Paris, as a member of the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel.
In 2015, he received the City of Paris Young Scientist “Émergences” Award, which provides funding to start an independent research group. Since then, he conducts two experimental activities:
- Nanophotonics: studying the coupling of single-photon emitters to nanostructures such as nanofibers;
- Quantum fluids of light: investigating superfluidity of light propagating in atomic media.
He has co-authored more than 56 publications in international peer-reviewed journals. In 2018, he was nominated Junior Fellow at the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF).
