MaÎtre de confÉrences
The LIP6 laboratory in Sorbonne Université, Paris, will shortly be opening applications for a Maître de Conferences (Associate Professor) in quantum information, based in the QI team.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach in the newly formed masters programs in quantum information, and undergraduate computer science. Some level of French language will be required.
They will also be expected to develop their own program of internationally leading research in quantum information science, complementing or strengthening the quantum information research in the QI team and Sorbonne Université, and participate actively in developing the quantum information community.
More details of the position can be found here.

Postdoctoral Positions
We are looking for several exceptional postdoctoral fellows (both in theory and experiment) with priority to candidates with experience and strong motivation to work in the areas described below. Inquiries and applications should be sent by email to the corresponding permanent member. Applications should include a detailed CV, a statement of research interests, and two names of potential referees. The call will remain open until the suitable candidates are identified.

Quantum Communication [theory]
A layered communication model for quantum networks: the goal is to design layered software infrastructures for quantum communication networks. For each step of the development, it will be necessary to implement a different software infrastructure. The main question of this project is thus, for each step of the development, to identify the relevant network layers and the related services. The candidate must have a PhD in computer science in the domain of networks and communication. The knowledge of quantum networks is not necessary.

Quantum Communication Complexity [experimental]
This position will focus on novel implementations of quantum communication complexity and cryptographic protocols aiming at demonstrating quantum advantage in communication resources and security using state-of-the-art photonic systems. The proposed research is included in the ERC Starting Grant project “QUSCO: Quantum superiority with coherent states” and in the ANR project “quBIC: Quantum banknotes and information-theoretic credit cards” Contact: Eleni Diamanti (eleni.diamanti@upmc.fr) Updated December 2018 |

Continuous-variable Quantum Key Distribution [experimental]
This position will focus on the development of advanced systems for continuous-variable quantum key distribution. This includes the design and implementation of devices based on photonic integrated circuits on one hand and on standard high performance coherent optical communications on the other. The proposed research is included in the European Quantum Technologies Flagship project “CiViQ: Continuous-Variable Quantum Communications”.

Quantum Verification [theory]
We will use a three layer approach to target the development of real-world applications for quantum devices. In the core layer we address the key challenge of verifying, monitoring and benchmarking distributed quantum computation processing. This will provide us the crucial interface between our target applications (in secure multiparty protocols such as voting, blockchain, and cloud computing) and Implementations (purpose-built scalable photonics hardware).

Quantum Internet [theory]
We are working on designing and implementing the future quantum internet in collaboration with a large European alliance that includes both theorists and experimentalists. One of our theoretical goals is the development of new protocols for quantum networks and distributed computation. Some areas include network routing, entanglement distribution and testing, quantum money schemes, security and privacy. Contact: Elham Kashefi (ekashefi@gmail.com) Updated June 2018 |
