I am a theoretical physicist studying quantum systems, which have wave-particle duality. I use quantum theory to understand the motion of electrons in nanostructures.

RESEARCH TEAM:
Alexia Auffèves & I lead the Quantum Energy Team |QET> (Grenoble/Singapore).

KEYWORDS :
  • irreversibility and dissipation in quantum systems
  • quantum thermodynamics
  • quantum computing
  • electron flow in nanostructures
