Recueil des prix et distinctions attribués aux chercheurs et personnels du département de physique
The Kastler Brossel Laboratory (LKB) is a joint research unit of the École Normale Supérieure, Sorbonne University, the Collège de France, and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). It is one of the major players in the field of quantum physics, covering a wide range of topics from fundamental tests of quantum physics to their applications.
The Physics Laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (LPENS), created on January 1, 2019, is a laboratory for interdisciplinary fundamental research in physics and its interfaces.
The technical and technological platforms of the ENS physics department provide technical support to the department's research teams (LPENS and LKB-Lhomond).
The Physics Department at ENS is represented by a logo known as the "three owls".
This logo was created in 1960 by Yves Rocard, who was director of the Physics Department between 1945 and 1973.
Around World War one, the Physics laboratory at ENS was based in a much too small space, quite derelict. In spite of these difficult conditions, it had a remarkably brilliant activity under the lead of H. Abraham and A. Cotton.
The physics department at the ENS has a dual vocation of teaching and research, these two objectives being complementary and closely linked.
From the infinitely small to the infinitely large and the infinitely complex, the department's research covers almost all areas of fundamental physics, and is enriched by fruitful interactions with other scientific disciplines.
Drawing on its internationally recognised research activities, the department offers training in fundamental physics at the very highest level and at the cutting edge of research, from undergraduate to doctoral level.
L’Institut de Physique Philippe Meyer a été créé au Département de physique de l’Ecole normale supérieure.
