Nous voici dans le 60e épisode de Quantum, le podcast de l’actualité quantique francophone. Je suis toujours avec Fanny Bouton d’OVHcloud pour comme d’habitude commenter l’actualité événementielle, entrepreneuriale et scientifique du quantique (ou de la quantique, si vous préférez) du mois passé.

Welcome to this 72th edition of Decode Quantum. Our guests are Cécile Perrault, Jérémie Guillaud and Diego Ruiz from Alice&Bob. This is our second podcast with Alice&Bob, since we had their two cofounders Théau Peronnin and Raphael Lescanne in 2020. Since then, things have changed and the company has grown to new levels. I was of course still with Fanny Bouton from OVHcloud. The podcast is also available on Frenchweb.
Cécile Perrault has been in charge of innovation projects and partnerships for Alice&Bob since her arrival in the startup in January 2023. Beforehand, she was an entrepreneur, Chief Science Officer and cofounder of the medtech and microfluidics startup Eden Tech. She was previously an assistant professor and researcher at the University of Sheffield in the UK, also in microfluidics, for 6 years. She was also a researcher at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC). She did a post-doc at McGill in Montreal after a PhD from the University of Florida, always in medtech.

I’ve had a chance to contribute to the writing of a new pedagogical preprint paper on quantum physics foundations:
The two-spin enigma: from the helium atom to quantum ontology by Philippe Grangier, Alexia Auffèves, Nayla Farouki, Mathias van den Bossche, and Olivier Ezratty, June 2024 (10 pages).
This paper uses the story telling of a criminal investigation to explain some aspects of quantum physics to quantum scientists and technologists with an undergrad level. It goes through the journey of how the structure of helium energy levels, with the atom’s entangled electron spins, was initially a mystery, and to some extent is still one if you try to obtain the value of individual electron spins of the atom in its ground state.
