A Postdoctoral / Research Engineer position is open at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), within the Multimode Quantum Optics group, to work on the implementation of quantum computing protocols using non-Gaussian states of light. This position is part of a technology transfer project whose results are intended to be valorized in the long term through our future spin-off.
The main activity will consist of developing quantum information protocols (distillation, purification, breeding, etc.) to overcome the limited quality of non-Gaussian states currently available in laboratories. This will require an in-depth study of the state of the art to identify the most promising approaches for implementation on our experimental platforms. The position is theoretical in nature and involves close collaboration with the experimental teams participating in the technology transfer project.
This position offers the opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to well-established protocols (measurement-based quantum computing, quantum error-correcting codes, etc.) using algebraic and geometric techniques based on the stellar representation, which have been developed in recent years to study quantum states of light.
