28 January 2026

On September 16 and 17, 2025, the ICB Laboratory participated in the 10th edition of the University of Digital Transition of Territories (UTNT), held in Dijon. This event brought together numerous stakeholders in digital technology and innovation to discuss the major technological and societal transformations to come.

Our participation focused on two key areas dedicated to quantum information:

A booth for discussions about quantum computing

For two days, the DiTeQ team (ICB/ICQ department) hosted a booth dedicated to quantum information. This provided an opportunity to present their research, answer questions, and share with participants the perspectives offered by this rapidly expanding field.

Popular Science Conference “Let’s Quantum Together!”

On September 17th, we participated in the “Let’s Quantum Together!” science outreach afternoon.
Lectures, improvisations, and magic punctuated this unique event, which aimed to make quantum information accessible, fun, and inspiring. This approach to science communication is essential for bringing research closer to the public and fostering new vocations.

We warmly thank Dijon, city and metropolitan area, for the invitation, as well as Dijon Bourgogne Events for hosting us. We also commend all the speakers for the quality, creativity, and educational value of their presentations:

Yohann Thenaisie – Actor and neuroscientist
Mister Lemon – Professional magician
Daniel Larose – Science communicator
Alessandro Roussel – YouTuber (ScienceClic)
Alexander Thomas – Teacher-Researcher / YouTuber: “Quantum Physics in Pictures”
Alibi – Improvisational theater troupe: “Quantum is Hilarious”
Hugo Cayla – YouTuber (Photons Jumeaux): “The Origins of Quantum Physics”
Fabien Quere – French quantum computing startup Pasqal: “How to Capture Atoms with Light to Build a Quantum Computer?”

🎥 The conference video will be available soon.

Our participation in UTNT 2025 confirms the importance of continuing the dialogue between researchers, public actors, companies and citizens on the challenges of digital and quantum technologies.

Artificial Neurons Communicating Through Light: A Major Advance for Hardware-Based Artificial Intelligence

Current artificial intelligence performance relies heavily on energy-intensive computing architectures that are difficult to miniaturize. A team of researchers is now proposing a radically new approach: memristic artificial neurons capable of communicating with each other through light, paving the way for ultra-compact and highly efficient three-dimensional neural networks. In a recently published article in Nature […]
