Several postdoc positions @PhIQuS, Inria Saclay, Paris in quantum information theory

I am recruiting several PostDocs in my group at Inria Saclay, Ecole Polytechnique near Paris on the following topics:

• Quantum Distributed Computing
• Quantum correlations, quantum nonlocality, entanglement
• Fermionic quantum information
• Quantum Foundations
• Mathematical Physics (Noncommutative polynomial optimisation, C* Algebras)
• More generally, all areas of Quantum Information Theory

Precise projects will be tailored to your expertise.

These positions are funded by my ERC Starting Grant QINF (fundamental laws ruling Quantum INFormation: bits, qubits and fermionic bits (febits) in networks - see https://marcolivierrenou.com/erc-qinf/ ), which studies how fermions can carry and process information in ways standard qubits cannot, and by the QuantERA project Quantum Network Algorithms (QNA, 2026–2029 - see https://research.cs.aalto.fi/da/qna/ ), which aims to identify the first distributed tasks with a practical quantum advantage.

As part of a new INRIA Team located in Saclay, you will have the possibility to collaborate with other quantum information researchers in Paris area and abroad:

• Distributed Computing: Jukka Suomela (Aalto, Finland), François Le Gall (Nagoya), and the other members of the QNA consortium, ...
• Quantum Physics: Nicolas Gisin (Geneva), Omar Fawzi (Inria Lyon), Antonio Acín (ICFO, Barcelona), David Gross (Cologne), ...
• Polynomial optimisation: Victor Magron (LAAS Toulouse), Igor Klep (Ljubljana), ...
• Inria teams Quriosity, Quacs, Cosmiq, Quantic, ...
