Hugues de Riedmatten

Hugues de Riedmatten is an ICREA professor and head of the Quantum Photonics group at ICFO since 2010. His group’s research focuses on building experimental hardware for quantum networks and quantum repeaters, including quantum memories for light, quantum light sources, quantum network nodes and quantum frequency conversion. He has a PhD from the University of Geneva in 2003, he is a member of the executive team of the European Quantum Internet Alliance. He contributed to key milestones in quantum repeater technology, including the first demonstrations of long-distance quantum teleportation, and of quantum repeater links using cold atoms and solid-state quantum memories.
