Building bridges between students and industry
On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, six partner companies— HGH, Thales, Pasqal, Exail, STMicroelectronics, and CEA DAM— joined students at the Institut d ' Optique as part of the « Partenariat École », a partnership program between Institut d’ Optique and key photonics companies.
The event opened with a conference in the auditorium, where each company introduced its environment, activities, and current projects, giving students valuable insight into the world of photonics, optics, and quantum technologies. The event continued with a networking village of booths set up in the lobby. Over a savory buffet and in a relaxed atmosphere, students had the chance to connect directly with company representatives, ask questions, and explore internship opportunities, projects, and potential career paths. These informal conversations created a real bridge between students and the professional world, helping them planning their future. This event reflects the broader ambition of the « Partenariat École » program: to build stronger, more direct connections between Institut d’ Optique engineering students and leading companies in photonics and quantum industries. By encouraging regular exchanges throughout the year, the program helps students better understand the diversity of careers available while giving companies the opportunity to meet and engage with future talent.
A PRESTIGIOUS CONFERENCE HONOURING PHILIPPE GRANGIER:
REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN!
After a career of more than forty years that has profoundly shaped quantum optics and technologies, Philippe Grangier, CNRS Research Director at Laboratoire Charles Fabry( Institut d’ Optique, CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay) will be honored with a scientific event highlighting his career and major contributions.
This one-day conference, co-organized by Quantum-Saclay and Institut d’ Optique, is entitled " From Single Photons to Continuous Variables: 40 Years of Advances in Quantum Optics " and will take place on June 4 th, 2026 at the Institut d ' Optique( Paris-Saclay). From his fundamental research on squeezed states of light and quantum non-demolition measurements to his groundbreaking innovations in quantum communication and quantum simulation, the conference will feature how Philippe Grangier’ s ideas continue to shape the future of the field. Highlights of the program include an introductory lecture from Alain Aspect, an exploration of the connections between AI and scientific practices, and a session on the foundations of quantum mechanics. The conference will also be live broadcasted all around the world on Institut d’ Optique Youtube channel. More information and free registration at: grangier26. sciencesconf. org
