I graduated in Physics at École Normal Supérieure de Lyon (2002), obtained Masters in Didactics and History of Science (Université Lyon 1, 2004) and Theoretical Physics (Université Aix-Marseille, 2005), and a PhD in Physics (Universite Aix-Marseille, 2008). In São Carlos SP (Brazil) since 2011, I am working on light-matter interaction, with an emphasis on light scattering by atomic clouds, as well as long-range interacting systems. Since Feb. 2017 I am a junior Professor at the Department of Physics of the Federal University of São Carlos (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims at investigating light scattering in two and three dimensions, with a focus on the transition to the Anderson localization regime. Over the past few years, the existence of such a localization phenomenon has been intensely debated, with experimental results being reinterpreted and previous claims retracted, whereas theoretical results suggested the vectorial nature of li…
This proposal aims at two parallel sets of activities in research and higher education that will be carried out by team of experimentalists and theorists from Sweden and Brazil. The main research topic is tightly bound to quantum technologies and addresses the use of quantum dots for quantum communication and simulation. In particular, we will employ light-mediated interaction between qua…
Large ensembles of cold atoms present strong cooperative properties as they scatter light, which results in a modified spontaneous emission. While cooperative scattering has been extensively studied up to date, its consequences on stochastic effects and on optical forces are still to be investigated, and it is the two objectives of the present project. The first goal will be to elucidate …

This project aims to investigate light localization in one-dimensional disordered atomic systems in the presence of nonlinear effects. Such effects arise due to the finite number of excitations in the system, that is, the interactions between photons through atoms. Using a mean-field approach, the student will investigate how such nonlinear effects affect transmission and localization len…
This project addresses the nonlinear interactions between photons in clouds of cold neutral atoms. While dipole-dipole interactions are known to lead to non-classical atomic states and potentially entanglement, the possibility to generate non-classical light is essentially unexplored. As a first step, we propose to investigate the anti-blockade mechanism, in analogy with Rydberg atoms, to…
The Scientific Initiation student will investigate the transmission properties for photons through a 2D or 3D atomic sample, using either scalar or vectorial light. The main objective is to observe deviations from the known laws for diffusion in the optically dense regime, for the configurations where the light is expected to localize.

This project aims at determining whether many-body localization is possible for moderately driven atoms coupled in 2D and 3D through dipole-dipole interactions, and which are its signatures (level spacing, radiation dynamics).
This project corresponds to the final phase of the Direct PhD of the candidate, which started in July 2015, and will end in July 2018 due to the conclusion of the Young Researcher Project of the supervisor. The candidate will conclude three projects which are well advanced. The first addresses subradiance and superradiance in clouds of saturated atoms. The second, initiated during a BEPE …
This DD project aims at studying the propagation of dipolar excitations and quantum correlations in a cloud of cold atoms. We are interested in the regime where superradiant effects are dominant compared to diffusive ones, when light-mediated long-ronge interactions take over between the light scatterers. We will use both mathematical techniques, such as Lieb-Robinson bounds, and numerica…

We aim at exploring the properties of trapped Rydberg ions to study its potential for quantum information processing tasks. More specifically in this project we will focus on realistic schemes for quantum operations and their experimental realizations in a system of Strontium ($^{88}$Sr$^{+}$) ions. To this end, one needs to take into account the properties of $^{88}$Sr$^{+}$ ions when ex…
This project aims at investigating the intensity of the emitted far-field by dilute atomic clouds where the light-mediated long-range interaction predominates. Spontaneous emission and interference effects then play an important role, differently from subwavelength systems of Rydberg atoms, yet the multiple scattering of light allows for remote atoms to exhibit correlations. During this i…
In this research internship abroad project we address the possibility of generating entanglement and other phenomena resulting from quantum correlations in cold atomic ensembles scattering light, focusing on the dilute limit, where dipole-dipole interactions are dominated by the far-field terms. Atomic clocks in optical lattices are particularly interesting platforms to implement this lim…
