Job Description
Thesis Subject
A joint PhD thesis between LOMA and LaBRI is proposed to develop fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) algorithms for applications in chemical physics, condensed matter physics, and/or high-energy physics. The candidate will work on the implementation and optimization of algorithms tailored for simulating complex physical systems, within an interdisciplinary environment combining theoretical physics and quantum computing.
Profile: Master's degree (or equivalent) in theoretical physics, chemical physics, or quantum computing, with an interest in numerical methods and simulation.
Expected start in October/November 2026 in Bordeaux.
Your Work Environment
The development of quantum technologies opens new perspectives for simulating complex physical systems. In this context, LOMA (Laboratoire Ondes et Matière d'Aquitaine) and LaBRI (Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique) collaborate within Bordeaux's Maison du Quantique, a local ecosystem dedicated to quantum computing innovation.
This project, supported by the Naquidis center, is part of a national dynamic, notably through the PEPR Quantique (French Quantum Technology Program), as well as international collaborations. Industrial partnerships further enrich this environment, providing a stimulating framework for both fundamental and applied advancements.
