The 2nd Annual Meeting of the GdR Meca Q has gathered more than 60 attendees around the topics of micro- and nano-opto/electro/mechanical systems, the question of their ultra-sensitive measurement down to the Quantum level and their applications to multiple fields.

This year, our Annual Meeting had the privilege to feature 6 internationally renowned tutorial speakers who have provided an extensive, pedagogic introduction to their respective domains and describe the state-of-the-art, representing a unique opportunity for our audience including a number of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

With a quite dense schedule, including 15 contributed talks, the Meeting has been a great occasion for multiple exchanges amongst researchers with very diverse and complementary technical and scientific backgrounds, including quantum optics, quantum optomechanics, nano-optomechanics, semiconductor quantum dots, hybrid quantum systems, nano-mechanics, Brillouin scattering, nano-plasmonics, electromechanics, many-body physics, metrology, 2D materials...

MyCryoFirm

An important headline of our meeting has been our "Pizza & Posters" session which we have jointly organized with an exposition (MyCryoFirm and Qnami), including a demonstration of the Pyrpl concept from his co-founder Dr. Leonhard Neuhaus, which has raised a keen attention from our attendees. 15 posters were competing for the Best Poster Award, which has been attributed by a jury composed of Dr. Aude Martin (Thalès Research), Dr. Andrew Fefferman (Institut Néel, CNRS) and Pr. Dr. Thomas Antoni (LPQM, Ecole Centrale Paris). The Prize, consisting of 2 FPGA hardware boards (ca. 260 euros each)  has been awarded ex-aequo to Dr. Laure Mercier de Lepinay (Postdoc at Institut Néel, CNRS and soon moving at the University of Aalto in the group of M. Sillanpää) for her work "Multimode nanomechanics in non-conservative force fields", and jointly to Rui Zhu and Giuseppe Modica (PhD students at C2N, CNRS) for their work "Integrated optomechanically driven photonic crystal cavity". Our warmest congratulation to them!

Below you will find a gallery of our Meeting. We warmly thank the Ecole Normale Supérieure for hosting our meeting, the CNRS for financial support, our invited tutorial speakers for their availability and unique pedagogy, all the colleagues who have greatly helped with chairing the sessions, Pr. Dr. Thibaut Jacqmin, Dr. Samuel Deléglise, Dr. Jean-Philippe Poizat and Pr. Dr. Thomas Antoni and all the attendees and speakers for making this a great event and hope to see you again at the next edition in 2018!
