PHIQUS team
The PhIQuS project team is lead by Marc-Olivier Renou and involves ~20 researchers. It is one of the leading research groups in the areas of quantum information theory in quantum networks, and Bell nonlocality and its applications. We have a unique expertise at the interface between Physics and Computer Science; our work appears in the top Physics journals (Nature, Nature Physics, PRX, PRL) and the top Computer Science conference (STOC, QIP, TQC, QCRYPT).
These positions are supported by a QuantERA grant ( Quantum Network Algorithms 2026-2029) and other fundings.
Mission confiée
The PhD student will work on the theoretical foundations of distributed quantum computing.
Precise projects will be tailored to your expertise. To explore the possibility of joining the group, email me ( [email protected] ).
Principales activités
As part of a INRIA Team located in Saclay, you will have the possibility to collaborate with other quantum information researchers in Paris area and abroad:
- Distributed Computing: all european members of the QuantERA2024 Quantum Network Algorithms consortium
- Inria teams Curiosity, Quacs, Cosmiq, Quantic, ...
Compétences
The applicant should hold a PhD degree in computer science, specialized in distributed computing, with a good understanding of quantum information theory / quantum computing. Familiarity with Bell nonlocality and quantum correlation protocols is a plus, but not necessary.
