Biography :
Landry Bretheau is Professor at Ecole Polytechnique (IP Paris). He graduated from Ecole Polytechnique (X2005) and carried out his Ph.D. at the CEA Saclay. He then conducted two successive post-docs at ENS (France) and MIT (USA). In 2017, he created a new lab – the QCMX Lab – together with his colleague Jean-Damien Pillet, which explores the physics of Hybrid Quantum Circuits. To develop this new activity, Landry Bretheau was awarded a Young Team Fellowship from École Polytechnique, a Young Researcher Grant from the French National Research Agency and an ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council. His work has led to major contributions in the fields of Mesoscopic Superconductivity and Quantum Circuits, with the publication of articles in the scientific journals Nature, Science, and Physical Review and was awarded the École Polytechnique Thesis Award as well as the 2020 Nicholas Kurti Science Prize.
Teaching:
Landry teaches in the Physics Department of Ecole Polytechnique, with a 192 hour / year teaching service. He is teaching at the undergrad level in :
– Quantum Mechanics (PHY361)
– Advanced Quantum Physics (PHY430)
– Quantum Information (PHY580)
– Research module on Quantum Technologies (PHY599)
He also teaches in the Executive Master of Ecole Polytechnique, where he gives a lecture on Quantum Physics and Technologies to executives and managers.
Outreach:
Landry is regularly involved in outreach activities. See for instance:
