Benjamin Huard Email & Phone Number

Benjamin Huard graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris in 2003 and did his PhD studies in the Quantronics group at CEA Saclay (France) with Hugues Pothier. There, he performed experiments aiming at investigating the behavior of electrons in mesoscopic metallic and superconducting conductors. In 2006, he joined the Goldhaber-Gordon group at Stanford University (USA) as a post-doc fellow, and observed the Klein tunneling of electrons in graphene for the first time. In 2008, as a CNRS researcher, he cofounded the Quantum Electronics group at Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris, France) with Michel Devoret. Since then, he worked on superconducting circuits in which he worked on quantum measurement and feedback, thermodynamics of quantum information, microwave quantum optics. He is now a professor at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon where he moved in 2017 and leads the Quantum Circuit Group together with Audrey Bienfait. He is a Scientific Adviser of the Alice and Bob company since 2021.
