Description
Quantum chaos is a research field dedicated to the relationship between a quantum system and its classical counterpart. The predictions are investigated in any wave system, namely quantum, acoustic, microwaves, optics,… Recently, we demonstrated the fabrication of surface-like microlasers by Direct Laser Writing (DLW). The laser modes were located along periodic geodesics (a geodesic is the shortest path between two points on a surface, like the straight line in Euclidean space). It opens the way to a new domain, called Non-Euclidean Photonics. During the internship, the student will investigate microlasers based on a pseudosphere, a surface with constant negative curvature , where geodesics are unstable and the classical dynamics is chaotic.
