Treps leads the Multimode Quantum Optics group at LKB. Research directions: (1) Multimode quantum frequency combs — synchronously pumped OPO (SPOPO) generates entangled networks of squeezed modes with configurable graph structure; first demonstration of quantum frequency comb with multimode squeezing (PRL 2012); (2) Quantum-enhanced multiparameter estimation — quantum Fisher information and multimode squeezing for simultaneous beyond-shot-noise parameter estimation (e.g., frequency comb spectral centroid and energy, PRX 2020); (3) Non-Gaussian quantum states — heralded generation of non-Gaussian cluster states for CV quantum computing; (4) Quantum metrological inequalities — relating non-locality to parameter estimation. Spin-off: Cailabs (multimode fiber light-shaping for telecom and industrial lasers). Co-director of QICS. ERC-funded.

Nicolas Treps' multimode quantum optics group (with Valentina Parigi and Claude Fabre) generates and characterises highly multimode squeezed and entangled states of light. Research: (1) optical frequency combs as multimode squeezed state resources — quantum metrology and sensing with frequency combs; (2) reconfigurable multimode squeezed state networks for quantum computing and sensing; (3) spatiotemporal squeezing with optical parametric amplifiers. Key for quantum-enhanced sensing with light.
