Mayeul Chipaux

Research interests:

Mayeul Chipaux’s research focuses on advancing quantum science and technology (i.e. quantum sensing, computing, and cryptography), using diamond-based systems (solid state, room temperature…). In particular, he develops innovative quantum control methods that repurpose the conventional uses of Scanning Electron Microscopy and plasmonic antennae to manipulate individual qubits at the nanoscale, and, leveraging principles from Cavity QED and quantum thermodynamics, explore novel entanglement schemes at very large scales (up to 10¹⁶ qubits).
