Experimental optical Quantum communication and cryptography

The Quantum Information (QI) team in LIP6, Sorbonne Université, is looking for a post doctoral researcher in Experimental optical Quantum communication and cryptography. 

The QI team is an interdisciplinary research group covering computer science, theoretical physics and experimental quantum optics. We are based in LIP6, Sorbonne Université, in central Paris, and are founding members of interdisciplinary centres the Quantum Information Centre Sorbonne and the Paris Centre for Quantum Technologies. We are involved in many regional, national and international initiatives in quantum information, including several EU flagship projects. We strive to promote equality, diversity, inclusion and tolerance.

More information on the posts and on the QI team, and the work we do can be found here.

All successful candidates will be expected to manage their own research, contribute to the working life of the team, and they will also have the opportunity to help supervise students and teach.

The position is initially for 12 months, renewable for up to 24 months, with a flexible start date.

We are opening an experimental post-doc position in the context of national and European collaborative projects. The guiding line of the experiments in our quantum photonics laboratory is the demonstration of a practical quantum advantage in terms of security and efficiency for advanced communication, cryptographic and computing tasks, in the context of realistic quantum networks. We are also interested in developing and implementing robust certification and verification methods for quantum devices and systems.

Applicants should send their CV, a cover letter and arrange for at least two references to be sent to qi@lip6.fr

The deadline for the first round of applications is 30/06/2024, and the second round of application is 31/08/2024.
