EPFL

The selection committee for the EPFL doctorate award has given special distinctions to two physics doctorate graduates.

Evading Heisenberg isn't easy

Research

EPFL researchers, with colleagues at the University of Cambridge and IBM Research–Zurich, unravel novel dynamics in the interaction between light and mechanical motion with significant implications for quantum measurements designed to evade the influence of the detector in the notorious “back action limit” problem.

5,000 “eyes” will track the expansion of the Universe

Innovation

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), is a US-led project that will measure the accelerated expansion of the Universe in order to reveal the nature of dark energy. The DESI project, which has received significant contributions from EPFL’s astrophysicists, is entering its final testing phase, gearing up to charter the skies.
