Post Doctoral Position in Quantum Hardware Security 

The Quantum Information (QI) team in LIP6, Sorbonne Université, is looking for a post doctoral researcher in Quantum Hardware Security . 

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.

One theoretical post-doc to work within the recently awarded Quantera at QI team on “Hardware Security Module for secure delegated Quantum Cloud Computing'' joint with University of Twente, University of Edinburgh, VeriQloud, Thales Group, HU Eötvös Loránd University and  QuiX. The objective of this project is to develop a standalone trusted execution module that enables secure cloud quantum computing. This module will undergo validation within the project by demonstrating a full stack software-hardware integration of the world's first secure optical access to a photonic quantum computing implementation for multi-user quantum cloud applications. We look for candidates with expertise in quantum cryptography to lead development of new quantum primitives that are provably secure and efficiently implementable on small and medium-scale quantum devices.

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

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