Stratégie d'établissement

Quantum information was highlighted in the CNRS's 2019-2023 Objectives and Performance Contract ("Section 1.1.8 Matter, Information, and Quantum Technologies") and is part of the PEPR Quantum Technologies project, of which the CNRS is co-pilot.
The theme of this junior professorship is part of this strategy, which aims to develop tools at the interface of computer science and physics to understand realistic systems to which the principles of quantum information will need to be applied in the coming years.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The four host laboratories (CPHT, LIG, LIX, LPMMC) have made the development of the theme of this junior professorship a strong focus of their scientific policy. All have active research groups in subjects having overlaps with this domain, with whom the successful candidate will be able to collaborate.

Stratégie Internationale

Quantum information is in great development worldwide, with highly active groups at prestigious institutions in Europe, the United States, and Asia. A major "Quantum Flagship" project has been launched by the European Union. At CNRS, several International Research Projects include this topic in their programs.

Résumé du projet scientifique

Significant research has enhanced our understanding of the potential of ideal, large-scale, error-free quantum computers. However, current technological progress only allows for the consideration of limited-size, imperfectly functioning devices. These systems could still achieve significant breakthroughs once their potential is better understood.
The tenure track aims to support this effort by recruiting a researcher in theoretical physics and/or computer science working on such systems. This could involve assessing their potential as computational tools, developing strategies to improve their accuracy, adapting algorithm development to existing platforms, or creating methods to better understand their robustness and dynamics using mathematical, algorithmic, analytical, and/or numerical tools. Candidates will propose a research project that integrates with one or more of the host laboratories.

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

The candidate should propose a teaching project (42 hours) falling within the theme. This teaching project will then be discussed with the university of the CPJ host laboratory.

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project’s socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
