Zaki Leghtas

Zaki Leghtas is a professor at the École des mines who has collaborated extensively with Nobel laureate Michel Devoret. He is noted for his appreciation of Devoret's unique ability to blend his vast knowledge of cinema, theater, and comic books into creative metaphors that illuminate complex scientific concepts. Leghtas has also engaged in interdisciplinary teaching, exemplified during the COVID-19 pandemic when he co-taught a course on the intersections of cinema and physics with a colleague from Yale University, exploring the implications of observation in quantum mechanics.
