Landry Bretheau
has sucsessfully defended his Ph.D. thesis in Saclay, a suburb of Paris on 1-2-2013. I was in the committee. A part of the thesis was the pioneering observation of doublet state of superconducting quasiparticles, http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/1105.5039, 40 years after its theoretical prediction. Yet it has many parts, some even more fascinating… The discussion with the opponent could have been more smooth, yet Landry managed to stay within the restrictions of formal politness.
Remarkable thesis work. And it was first time in my life I tasted home-made foie gras.
