L'avènement de la métrologie quantique est consécutif de la découverte et de la maîtrise d'effets quantiques majeurs de la matière condensée. Le groupe effectue des recherches en vue de contribuer à la définition d'un nouveau système d'unités et à la détermination de la constante de Planck et de la charge élémentaire pour une nouvelle définition du kilogramme et de l'ampère. Il développe de nouvelles références quantiques à partir de dispositifs nanostructurés en anticipation de la mise en pratique des nouvelles définitions des unités électriques. 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9trologie%20quantique

La tendance à la réalisation d'accords commerciaux régionaux et la mondialisation des marchés ont remis l'accent [...] sur le besoin d'assurer un haut niveau de confiance et de compatibilité dans les systèmes de mesure des pays commerçants. En vue de répondre à ces impératifs, les experts en métrologie de toutes les parties des Amériques se sont réunis à Rio de Janeiro le 25 janvier 1995. A la fin de la réunion, 25 pays se sont engagés à participer à un programme ambitieux de collaboration dans cet hémisphère. Le Système interaméricain de métrologie (SIM), une idée qui avait commencé modestement à voir le jour en 1979, se voyait insuffler une vie nouvelle. 3, record 7, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20interam%C3%A9ricain%20de%20m%C3%A9trologie
