Cristina Benea – quantum optician
Cristina Benea takes us inside her laboratory at EPFL, where she works on cutting-edge research in quantum optics and photonic chips.
These optical chips make it possible to perform extremely precise measurements — for example, to detect hazardous gases in enclosed spaces. In the video, Cristina also talks about her personal career path, describing how she moved from engineering into the field of quantum physics and what sparked her fascination with this area of research.
