Vincent Bouchiat
Vincent Bouchiat (born 1970) is a French condensed matter physicist and entrepreneur. He was a CNRS research director from 1997 to 2019. In 2019 he co-founded the company Grapheal SAS, of which he is currently CEO.[1] Early life and educationBouchiat was born to Claude Bouchiat and Marie-Anne Bouchiat, both of whom were physicists.[2][3] Vincent Bouchiat followed his studies in Paris partially at the Lycée Henri-IV. In 1993, he received an engineer degree from the School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry of Paris ESPCI in 1993 and a master's degree in solid state physics from the University of Paris, Pierre & Marie Curie. After completing his Ph.D. at Quantronics group in CEA-Saclay in 1997 under the supervision of Michel Devoret and Daniel Estève.[2] CareerDirecteur de rechercheBouchiat became a director of research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 1997. He was affiliated with the Institut Néel in Grenoble from 2012.[4] Bouchiat also became invited professor in 2007 at the Physics department of University of California, Berkeley.[5][1] Grapheal SASIn 2019, Bouchiat co-founded the company Grapheal SAS, where he is currently CEO. It is a startup focusing on the healthcare applications of graphene.[6] ResearchBouchiat's PhD thesis[2] is recognized as a pioneering study in the field of quantum computing hardware, showing the quantum superposition of charge states in a single Cooper pair box. This experiment paved the way for the realisation of a charge qubit.[7] Bouchiat's research interests cover a wide range of solid state physics and multidisciplinary investigations which include quantum information, superconductivity, carbon nanostructures (graphene and carbon nanotubes), bioelectronics and translational research research in medical sciences .[8] AwardsBouchiat has won the following awards:
