Quantum computing is nowadays a strong field of research at CEA-LETI and in numerous institutes and companies around the world. In particular, RF magnetic fields allow to control the spin of silicon qubits, and pathway for large scale control is a real technological challenge. The bibliographic analysis and the studies already carried out will able […] >>

The aim of this thesis is to design high-efficiency power converters based on resonating piezoelectric transducers. A large part of the work is to develop the electrical cycle able to energetically maintain the piezoelectric resonator in resonance and ensure zero-voltage switching, for electrical energy transfer from the source to the piezoelectric resonator or from the […] >>

Microsystems sensors (MEMS) are the interface between the physical world and the digital world, and they are present today in most components and systems. A major challenge is the development of sensors that can be interrogated remotely, without electronic circuits or batteries, which will make it possible to envisage new applications as for example in […] >>

Spatiotemporal manipulation of the near- and far-electromagnetic (EM)-field distribution and its interaction with matter in the THz spectrum (0.1-0.6 THz) is of prime importance in the development of future communication, spectroscopy, imaging, holography, and sensing systems. Reconfigurable Intelligent (Meta)Surface (RIS) is a cutting-edge hybrid analogue/digital architecture capable of shaping and controlling the THz waves at […] >>

Wireless power transmission technologies (WPT) are rapidly expanding, particularly for wireless charging of electrical systems (mobile phones, electric cars, etc.) but also for powering centimeter-scale wireless sensor nodes. The aim of the thesis is to study the performance and optimization of a new electrodynamic system concept recently proposed in our laboratory. The operation of this […] >>
