Antoine Browaeys

Antoine Browaeys received his PhD from the Institut d’Optique, France and completed a post-doc at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA. He is an experimentalist whose work covers atomic physics, quantum optics, quantum many-body physics, and quantum information science.

Browaeys is a research director at Institut d'Optique, CNRS, France. He is widely known for his groundbreaking work on neutral atom arrays. Antoine’s innovative approach included an ensemble of individual atoms, each trapped in optical tweezers, arranged in arbitrary 2D geometries. This platform allows for the exploration of quantum many-body physics. His work is advancing the field of quantum science and holds great promise for the future.

He was elected to the French Academy of Sciences and has received the Herbert Walther Award from Optica and the Deutsche Physikalische Gesell­schaft (DPG), Aimé Cotton Prize of the French Physical Society, “La Recherche” Prize in Physics, CNRS Silver Medal, and French Academy of Science Alfred-Verdaguer Prize.
