Context
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 two QuantERA grants (COMPUTE 2024-2027 and Quantum Network Algorithms 2026-2029) and other fundings.
Assignment
Several Postdoctoral grants positions are available, for a duration of 1-3 years.
The postdoctoral researcher will work on one of the following topics:
- Theoretical foundations of distributed quantum computing
- Quantum correlations, quantum nonlocality, entanglement, notably based on Mathematical Physics approaches based on noncommutative polynomial optimisation and C* Algebras
- Quantum cryptography protocols
- Precise projects will be tailored to your expertise.
Main activities
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
- Optimization and Mathematical Physics for quantum physics: all european members of the QuantERA2026 COMPUTE consortium
- Inria teams Curiosity, Quacs, Cosmiq, Quantic, ...
Skills
The applicant should hold a PhD degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related field and have an excellent track record of publications in either quantum information theory or distributed computing. Familiarity with Bell nonlocality, distributed computing, C* algebras, SDP relaxations of polynomial optimization problems, quantum correlation protocols and / or experimental physics is a plus, but not necessary.
