"Harnessing Optical Disorder for Bell Inequalities violation"
a joint work with Hugo Defienne's team.
arxiv.org/abs/2509.21052

In short : a speckle essentially has a random polarization state at any position, we exploit this to show we can violate a BI.

This is the end of a short visit to ETH Zurich, I was very intimidated to visit the math department (as an experimentalist) but it turned out great, thanks to my host Habib Ammari. Also great to (re)connect to colleagues in Physics, Mechanics & engineering, and enjoy a nice Picasso exhibition.🇨🇭🧀🍫

#NewPaper on the blend of computational microscopy with chemical imaging: enabling high-speed quantitative CARS imaging via a new compressive Raman framework.

Always a pleasure to have the visit of our alumni! Today Michael Mounaix from U Queensland gave us a seminar on his impressive recent work on arbitrary light shaping using an MPLC, including a demonstration using the team chicken !

If you’re in CLEO Munich don’t miss the talk of Malo Joly today at 11 on Quantum Extreme Learning Machines !

Congrats to our newly minted PhD, Lea Chibani, who successsfully defended today !

Finally out !

"Classification of quantum states of light using random measurements through a multimode fiber"
after several years, the last work of the PhD of Saroch Leedumrongwatthanakun, collaboration with Mauro Paternostro's group, is out in Phys. Rev. Research.

We have multiple postdoc openings in *optical computing* 🔦+🤖, *computational microscopy* 🔬+🧠, and *nanophotonics*💡+⚛️. Don't hesitate to get in touch / spread the word!

📢 @sylvaingigan.bsky.social joins #EOSAM2025!
His tutorial, "Photonics for AI: Coming of Age?", will explore optical machine learning, from random matrix multiplication via light scattering to applications in modern ML tasks.

Congratulation to our former group member @giannijacca.bsky.social for this amazing news! All the best for his new position !

Happy to share our recent publication in @opticapubsgroup.bsky.social Photonics Research,
Fourier synthetic-aperture-based time-resolved terahertz imaging.

Congratulations to all the authors, @sylvaingigan.bsky.social, @optica.bsky.social, @lkblab.bsky.social

Last Thursday, our one and only Louis Delloye defended his PhD with flying Colors 🌈 . Congrats Dr. Delloye!

some additional pictures of our discussions

Last week for our group retreat, we climbed up the @sorbonne-universite.fr's main tower to take a bit of perspective (litterally), and discuss how we do science, and how to do it better together, with some of our our alumni and close collaborators.

finally out: we demonstrate unprecedented imaging speeds with the spontaneous Raman contrast using the compressive Raman framework and a nice SPAD array. doi.org/10.1364/OL.5... Great collaboration with the AQUA group @EPFL

What better way to start this journey on 🦋 than sharing our latest work?

We studied how a complex environment influences the formation of groups in active colloids. How did we do it?
