#NewPreprint #Quantum "Harnessing Optical Disorder for Bell Inequalities violation" a joint work with Hugo Defienne's team. arxiv.org/abs/2509.21052 In short : a speckle essentially has a random polarization state at any position, we exploit this to show we can violate a BI.

This is the end of a short visit to ETH Zurich, I was very intimidated to visit the math department (as an experimentalist) but it turned out great, thanks to my host Habib Ammari. Also great to (re)connect to colleagues in Physics, Mechanics & engineering, and enjoy a nice Picasso exhibition.🇨🇭🧀🍫

Last week for our group retreat, we climbed up the @sorbonne-universite.fr's main tower to take a bit of perspective (litterally), and discuss how we do science, and how to do it better together, with some of our our alumni and close collaborators.

What better way to start this journey on 🦋 than sharing our latest work? We studied how a complex environment influences the formation of groups in active colloids. How did we do it? Follow the short thread below and/or just check: www.nature.com/articles/s42... @sylvaingigan.bsky.social
