Research fields
The PEPS division is composed of experimentalists and theorists, having a common interest in radiation-matter interaction, considered either as an object or as a tool for our studies. It gathers three research teams:
– The "Theory of Light-Matter and Quantum Phenomena (RMPQ)" team, developing its activity around 6 main topics:
Non-equilibrium quantum dynamics | Casimir-Lifshitz interactions | Heat transfer | Complex quantum systems | Many-body physics | Nanophotonics and plasmonics |
Two teams gathering experimentalists :
– the "Optics of collective states and Spin (OECS)" team
– the "Solid-State Quantum Technologies (S2QT)" team
They develop their activity around 6 main topics:
Spin Physics | Collective Quantum States | Wide bandgap materials and UV photonics |
2D Materials | Nanophotonics and metamaterials | Solid-state Quantum Technologies |

Join us
The division offers many opportunities for internship, at all level and duration. It also offers PhD or postdoctoral positions. These offers include:
– Internship : Thermal sensing at nanoscale with a single spin qubit
– Internship : Imaging magnetism at nanoscale with a quantum magnetometer
– Internship : Identifying spin qubit defects in wide bandgap materials
– Internship : Optical thermotronics
– Internship/PhD (Master, rather 2nd year, or PhD):Optical spectroscopy of indirect excitons->doc1517]
– Master Internship: Waveguide Polariton Lasers: from optical pumping to electrical injection
– PhD 2025: Waveguide Polariton Lasers: Solitons and Topological lasers: application at the Doctoral school EDI2S
