Rémi Geiger (CNRS DR, SYRTE/Observatoire de Paris; IUF 2020) leads atom interferometry for inertial sensing. Research: (1) interleaved cold-atom gyroscope — world record 3.75 Hz sampling rate with 801ms interrogation time; (2) EQUIP-G Horizon Europe project for quantum gravimeter network deployment across Europe (2025); (3) ESA ODIN gyroscope for X-ray space mission; (4) entangled-atom tests of Einstein equivalence principle. Key figure in precision cold-atom inertial sensors. Note: formally at SYRTE (PSL/Obs. Paris), entered under ENS (same PSL network).

Arnaud Landragin (CNRS DR, SYRTE) is director of the cold-atom inertial sensors team and one of the world's leading experts in quantum gravimeters and gyroscopes. Research: (1) GIRAFE transportable cold-atom gravimeter for marine and airborne campaigns; (2) QAFCA project (PEPR Quantique) for gravity sensors for geoscience and navigation; (3) ESA ODIN ultra-high performance gyroscope for space. CNRS Innovation Medal 2020. Co-authored key reviews on cold-atom inertial sensors.

Landragin directs SYRTE and its Cold Atom Interferometry and Inertial Sensors team, which develops light-pulse atom interferometers as absolute gravimeters and gyroscopes: the Cold Atom Gravimeter (CAG), whose single-laser pyramid-reflector design he co-invented and commercialized through the start-up Muquans (now Absolute Quantum Gravimeter, AQG), and continuously-operating cold-atom gyroscopes reaching record joint sensitivity. Applications span geodesy, hydrology, volcano monitoring and inertial navigation. He received the CNRS Innovation Medal in 2020.

Franck Pereira dos Santos (CNRS DR, SYRTE) develops dual-species (Rb/Cs) atom interferometers and gravimeters with the highest accuracy. Research: (1) cold-atom gravimeters for absolute gravity measurement; (2) dual Rb/Cs fountain for equivalence principle tests; (3) interleaved interferometry to eliminate dead-time and aliasing noise; (4) quantum optimal control for Raman/Bragg pulse sequences. Key SYRTE inertial sensor PI.
