About the Authors

Gilbert Grynberg was a CNRS Senior Scientist at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 6, and a Professor at the École Polytechnique. He was a pioneer in many domains, including atomic spectroscopy, nonlinear optics and laser cooled atoms in optical lattices.

Alain Aspect is a CNRS Senior Scientist and Professor at the Institut d'Optique and the Ecole Polytechnique. A pioneer of the field of quantum entanglement, his research covers quantum optics, laser cooling of atoms, atom optics, Bose-Einstein condensates and atom lasers, and quantum atom optics.

Claude Fabre is a Professor in the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 6, and a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. His fields of research are quantum optics, atomic and laser physics, both experimentally and theoretically.
