Loïc Lanco

Loïc Lanco is an Associate Professor at Paris Diderot University, working since 2007 at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies (C2N). His research focuses on Solid-State Quantum Optics, particularly on controlling interactions between matter qubits and photonic qubits using semiconductor quantum dots in optical microcavities. He has authored 36 peer-reviewed publications and delivered 21 invited talks, with contributions to quantum technologies, optomechanics, and nonlinear photonics.

• Education: Physics studies (1998-2003) and PhD (2003-2006) at Paris Diderot University and Thales Research & Technology, supervised by S. Ducci and V. Berger.

Research interests include light-matter interfaces, single-photon sources, and photon-photon/spin-photon interactions. His recent work explores nanophononic states, cavity-enhanced nonlinearities, and quantum dot-based devices for quantum information. Articles highlight advancements in single-photon emission, optimal coupling, and high-frequency optomechanics.

Scientific awards include the PhD and Research Supervision Award (2016), multiple ANR grants (SPIQE, QDOM, MIND), and the Research Excellence Award (2012). He has held leadership roles in academic governance and quantum technology networks. Publications demonstrate expertise in quantum device fabrication, cavity QED, and optomechanical characterization.
