Place : CROUS à la Pointe Jaune sur le campus de Créteil, 61 avenue du Général De Gaulle, 94000 Créteil.
The DIM QuanTiP will be at Researchers’ Night in Créteil on February 11, 2025.
This will be an opportunity for students at the Créteil campus to talk with a researcher and a doctoral student from the DIM QuanTiP. We will discuss their work, their possible career paths, and their theses.
Christophe Daussy, a researcher at the Laser Physics Laboratory and close collaborator of the DIM QuanTiP, has been honored by the French Society of Physics for his dedication to the dissemination of scientific knowledge.
In a corridor on the ground floor of the Sorbonne Paris Nord University, there are two very surprising rooms. In the first, there are many objects, some more worn than others. A few lie in a corner of the room, requiring some searching to find them, while others are meticulously classified on shelves with countless drawers. In the second room, it is as if a whole host of scientific experiments have been stored in one place. On large wooden tables, they are lined up perfectly one behind the other: a Paul’s trap, a laser fountain, a mirascope. So many treasures in such a small space. At the heart of the University, it’s like a breath of fresh air between two classrooms. It’s a laboratory where we create, where we share, where imagination has a place. It’s the stage for a unique show. It’s Atouts Sciences.
Ten years ago, Christophe Daussy founded Atouts Sciences, an association dedicated to democratizing science, whose goal is to convey a passion for physics with enthusiasm and kindness. Today, the French Physics Society has awarded him the Jean Perrin Prize for developing and implementing several outreach initiatives, starting with the creation of a MOOC accessible to high school students, which aims to introduce them to the riches of physics through a clever mix of science, pop culture references, and everyday applications.
Atouts Science is also expanding with the introduction of an educational kit, the Lightbox Kit, which the DIM QuanTiP has had the opportunity to use on numerous occasions. For several years now, this kit has enabled users to discover the properties of light through experimentation: diffraction, color synthesis, reflection, human imaging, fiber optics, and more.
The Lightbox project has been made available outside France to thousands of students, who have been able to manipulate and experiment with light. There are also 450 kits in circulation around the world.
In addition to physical optics experiments, students and teachers are encouraged to develop their own experiments, to create and fuel their scientific curiosity. The kit provides a gateway into the mysterious world of physics and stimulates the imagination of young and old alike, encouraging them to design interdisciplinary and original scientific projects.
The DIM QuanTiP congratulates Christophe for his commitment to the dissemination of knowledge and warmly thanks him for his support over the last few years in our outreach projects. Without a doubt, the challenges ahead will be overcome thanks to his good humor and unfailing kindness.

In early January, the Sorbonne Paris Nord University is organizing an Orientation, Science, and Culture Week for its students.
For this occasion, the QuanTiP DIM is returning to present the “Optical Tweezers” experiment in a workshop entitled: “Light/Matter Interaction – Optical Tweezers in Quantum Physics.”
Summary: Try to reveal the mystery on the main principles of quantum physics! Come and experience an “Optical Tweezers” for yourself, trapping ink particles using a laser to understand the interactions between light and matter. Discuss possible applications and underlying physical phenomena with doctoral students.
As last year, we will present two 45-minute sessions, the first at 10 a.m. and the second at 11 a.m.
Place : FIAP, 30 rue Cabanis, 75014 Paris
The Paris-Munich Quantum Workshop takes place in Paris, France, on December 8 and 9, 2025. The workshop brings together researchers from two quantum hubs, the Paris region and Munich.
The aim is to present the latest advances in quantum science and technology, strengthen existing collaborations and create new ones, and encourage the mobility of PhD students and postdocs between the two communities.
Scientific conferences, poster sessions, and laboratory visits are on the agenda, providing numerous occasions for convivial discussions. The program will be out soon.
Paroles de Chercheuses et Chercheurs is a regional initiative designed to bring the world of research closer to high school students in the Île-de-France region.
Launched in 2020 and renewed in 2023, this program offers original, interactive two-hour conferences led by researchers in high schools across the Île-de-France region.
The aim is to introduce high school students to the diversity of research and scientific careers, whether in academia or industry, in order to spark scientific curiosity among high school students, particularly girls, who are still underrepresented in these fields.
These lectures are open to all students, regardless of their specializations, and are part of an effort to transmit and promote scientific, technical, and industrial culture.
As part of this program, 140 conferences have already been held in 136 high schools in the Paris region during the 2023-2025 school years by 112 researchers, 51% of whom are women. All of them shared their experiences and discussed the diversity of research and scientific careers, whether in academia or industry. Almost 7,000 students, 52% of whom were girls, benefited from this innovative program.
Of the 140 interventions, 48% took place in the outer suburbs, 43% in the inner suburbs, and 9% in Paris. Seventy of the participating high schools are located in the New Priority Geography areas, and 17 are located in rural communities.

This form allows you to register for the Quantum PhD & Job Fair 2025, which will take place at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, Fondation Deutsch de la Meurthe, 37 boulevard Jourdan, on November 27, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Quantum Job Fair 2025 is a day dedicated to academic and industrial careers in quantum science. It brings together laboratories, companies, and startups in the sector, and is aimed at students, doctoral candidates, and postdoctoral researchers wishing to explore their professional opportunities.
This year, the Quantum Job Fair is co-organized by DIM QuanTiP, Lab Quantique, and Maison du Quantique de l’Île-de-France, with support from PCQT and Quantum-Saclay.
What can be done when academic authorities neglect some of their staff? When the entire system turns a blind eye to gender inequality?
European and Japanese female physicists from Women for Quantum (W4Q) are tackling this issue to redefine the representation of scientists in academia. Overwhelmed by disastrous statistics1, overburdened by committees and evaluation panels, discouraged by the still significant wage gap in some countries, and aware of and witness to past actions that have yielded insufficient results, they have joined forces to create Women for Quantum.
The collective aspires to a more egalitarian, non-discriminatory, and inclusive future for the world of research. Respect, sharing, collaboration, freedom of expression, diversity: the association defends these values in its introductory manifesto. The scientists also describe their objectives:
To mark the Year of Quantum Science and Technology, Women for Quantum is organizing its launch day on September 17, 2025, at the Pierre and Marie Curie campus in Paris. W4Q invites you to come and discuss and learn more with the entire community.
Duration : 24 months
A leader in the field of measurement and standards, with a strong reputation in France and internationally, the LNE supports industrial innovation and is positioned as a key player in promoting a more competitive economy and a safer society. At the crossroads of science and industry since its creation in 1901, the LNE offers its expertise to all economic players involved in product quality and safety. As the leader in French metrology, our research is at the heart of our public service mission and is a fundamental factor in supporting the competitiveness of businesses. We are committed to meeting the requirements of industry and academia for ever more accurate measurements, carried out in increasingly extreme conditions or on innovative subjects such as autonomous vehicles, nanotechnologies, and additive manufacturing.
As part of the National Quantum Strategy, the LNE coordinates the MetriQs-France program, dedicated to the development, operation, and promotion of measurement standards for the reliable characterization and evaluation of quantum technologies. Among the enabling technologies for qubits, traveling wave parametric amplifiers (TWPA), based on the Josephson effect, are key components for the optimal reading of superconducting qubits, which require high-fidelity electrical measurements via amplification with noise close to the quantum limit over a wide bandwidth. The reliable and harmonized evaluation and quantification of the performance of these Josephson parametric amplifiers is crucial to improving the maturity of this technology and, ultimately, to progressing toward the overall evaluation of the performance of superconducting quantum computers, a major objective of the MetriQs program. Within the LNE’s fundamental electrical metrology department, your mission will be to coordinate the LNE’s work on the metrological characterization of TWPA in various projects, both at the national level (MetriQs-Dev-France MOCQUA) and European level (Horizon Europe JRP MetSuperQ and Qu-Test projects). You will contribute fully to the experimental work planned as part of these various projects and to their promotion.
In this context, your main tasks will therefore consist of:
You hold a PhD in solid-state quantum physics.
You are able to analyze results and synthesize information.
You are pragmatic, rigorous, and possess a critical mind. You are able to work both independently and as part of a team. You are open to participating in several projects at different levels (at LNE, nationally, and in Europe).
