Haroche at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory, she has been hired by CNRS in 2005 in Grenoble where she has developed a theoretical research line around quantum optics and quantum thermodynamics. She promotes the physics-philosophy interface within the Grenoble ecosystem for quantum technologies, which she coordinates between 2017 and 2022 through the local initiatives Quantum Engineering Grenoble and QuantAlps. In 2022, she co-funds the Quantum Energy Initiative (#QEI), to foster an interdisciplinary community to understand and optimize the energetic footprint of emerging quantum technologies.
