Chair of Mesoscopic Physics at Collège de France

Michel Devoret occupies the chair of Mesoscopics Physics at the Collège de France since 2007. Every year, he gives new lectures on current research in mesoscopic physics which can be found on the left sidebar.
The lectures take place on Tuesday at 09h30 in the Maurice Halbwachs amphitheatre at
Collège de France
11 place Marcelin Berthelot
75005 Paris, France
