Philippe Grangier
Philippe Grangier (* 1957 ) is a French physicist who works in quantum optics .
Grangier studied at the École normal supérieure de Cachan and received his doctorate from Alain Aspect . He also took part in Alain Aspect's historical experiment to test Bell's inequalities in the early 1980s . He is a professor at the École polytechnique and has headed the quantum optics department at the École supérieure d'optique (SupOptique) in Orsay since 1988 . He is Research Director of the Center national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS).
He deals with non-classical properties of photons (including the generation of optical Schrödinger-Katzen- states) and quantum information theory.
In 1990 he received the Carl Zeiss Research Award , in 2002 the silver medal of the CNRS and in 2008 the Prix Jean Ricard of the French Physical Society. In 2012 he was honored with the Charles Hard Townes Award and in 2006 he was awarded the International Prize for Quantum Information together with Peter Zoller , Ignacio Cirac and William Wootters .
Philippe Grangier is a scientific advisor for “SequreNet”, an IT company that deals with quantum cryptography .
