Abstract: Wave-particle duality is a basic concept of quantum physics, first 
stated by Einstein about light, and developed about material particles by Louis 
de Broglie. When applied to a single particle, it allows us to illustrate one 
of the weirdest properties of the quantum world. I will present wave-particle 
duality based on using a real experiment, based on a single photon source, one 
of the key devices in the development of quantum technologies.

Biography: Alain Aspect is an alumnus of Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan 
(now ENS Paris-Saclay) and Université d’Orsay (now Université Paris-Saclay). An 
emeritus distinguished scientist at CNRS, he is a professor at Institut 
d’Optique Graduate School (Université Paris-Saclay), and at Ecole 
Polytechnique, and author of textbooks and MOOCS on quantum optics.

He is a member of several science academies (France, USA, UK, Austria, Belgium, 
Italy)  and has received many prestigious international prizes.

Alain Aspect research has been devoted to experimental studies of quantum 
properties of light and ultra-cold atoms, at the root of quantum technologies.
