2023 Institute & Initiative Doctoral Program campaign
Sorbonne Université campaign designed to award two doctoral contracts in the field of quantum information
Context and description
Within the framework of the Institutes and Initiatives of the Sorbonne University Alliance (ASU), the third year annual campaign to award doctoral contracts financed by the French Excellence Initiative (Idex) is launched.
More specifically, the Quantum Information Center Sorbonne (QICS) will award two doctoral programs related to quantum information, from both the physics and computer science point of view. It includes:
- Quantum computing (including simulation) and communications;
- Hardware, software and foundational aspects;
- Broad impact of quantum information (postquantum cryptography, machine learning, humanities, economical implications, etc.).
Each project includes a three-year doctoral contract and 10k€ environment.
CAMPAIGN STEPS & PROCESS
On May the 16th, le QICS auditioned 5 candidates to award two doctoral programs related to quantum information.
| Name of candidates | Project title | PhD Directors | Laboratory | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
CAGNON TROUCHE Marina |
Nanocristaux de pérovskite en cavité pour l’émission de photons uniques indiscernables | Carole DIEDERICHS | LPENS | 1st ex aequo |
|
PEPIN Mathis |
QND measurement of a circular Rydberg atom of Strontium. | Sébastien GLEYZES | LKB | 1st ex aequo |
|
BELZANE Lucien |
Coherent coupling of quantum emitters on a nanofiber | Alberto BRAMATI | LKB | 3rd |
|
KATSAVOU Ioanna |
Photonic sources for entanglement-based quantum networks | Julien LAURAT | LKB | 4th |
|
NOBLET Thibault |
A Diagrammatic Quantum Simulator for Spin Liquids | Pascal VIOT | LPTMC | 5th |
Here are the projects preselected by the jury and also published on Sorbonne Université's website (doctoral section) and doctoral schools’ websites (EDPIF).
2023 projects are:
-
Nanocristaux de pérovskite en cavité pour l’émission de photons uniques indiscernables
-
Quantum Simulation of Fermionic Matter at the Single-Atom Level
-
Pulse by pulse and frequency multiplexed quantum states for CV quantum information protocols
-
Intrication à plusieurs qbits : vortex optiques et mélange à 4 ondes spontané
-
Quantum simulation with an atom‐tweezer array in an optical microcavity
-
Intrication non-gaussienne avec des peignes de fréquences optiques
- Students first send their applications to the project leaders. They will then be auditioned by a jury.
- Project leaders send the candidate application they support filling this online form (French only)
Deadline: May 10th 2023
The recruitment campaign is divided into several phases:
- A call for doctoral research projects is launched among researchers and lecturers at the Alliance Sorbonne-University. To be eligible, the project leader should follow the rules of the relevant doctoral school. Furthermore, the project leader should be the PhD supervisor and member of a laboratory affiliated with the ASU.
Please submit your project here LIMESURVEY
- The doctoral research projects validated by the doctoral schools are submitted to a committee chaired by the Directors of the QICS.
- The projects preselected by this committee are published on the Sorbonne University website (doctoral section), on the doctoral schools’ websites and QICS website.
- Students first send their applications to the project leaders. They will then be auditioned by a jury.
- The doctoral contract of the selected candidate will start in fall 2023
