NanoXCAN Researchers Join Quantum Day Celebration in Porto

/in /by

On April 14th, members of the NanoXCAN group, alongside colleagues from the Group of Lasers and Plasmas (GoLP), took part in the celebration of World Quantum Day in Porto. The event, part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology initiatives, brought together researchers, students, and the public to celebrate the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics.

The event also highlighted the growing interplay between research and industry in the quantum field, with various institutions and companies present to showcase their work. It provided a valuable space for dialogue and exchange across sectors.

Experiments at SOLEIL synchrotron

/in /by

In this experiment, performed at the Nanoscopium beamline at SOLEIL synchrotron, we explored a novel approach to X-ray imaging by using a X-ray diffuser to generate a pseudo-thermal light source with tunable coherence. By conducting the experiment at a synchrotron, we were able to harness a bright X-ray beam to study how partially coherent light interacts with structured objects. This allowed us to take the first steps toward demonstrating lensless imaging techniques that could work with partially incoherent light sources, opening new possibilities for high-resolution imaging in more accessible settings.

We sincerely thank the entire SOLEIL team for their invaluable support and for providing such a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere throughout the experiment!
