Photons propagating in high magnetic fields Experimental study of the vacuum ...
In this work, we present a metrology experiment whose goal is to measure the vacuum magnetic birefringence. It consists in measuring the ellipticity induced by a... -
Surface wave optics : super-resolution and wave-matter interaction
Interfaces between materials having opposite dielectric constants support electromagnetic waves confined close to these interfaces called surface waves. For metals and... -
Superconducting qubit in a resonator : test of the Legget-Garg inequality and...
This thesis presents a series of circuit QED (cQED) experiments, in which artificial atoms consisting of superconducting circuits are strongly coupled to the...
