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.
Various positions are available in all areas of quantum information. You can find the list of the members of the team with their scientific interests here, and positions are listed below.
The QI team has an open call for its Quantum Information Fellowship.
We are looking for exceptional, independent young researchers in topics which are linked to the activities of the group (see here for details).
The fellowship is for three years, and comes with some funding for travel and computer needs.
The call is now open, and rolling (without deadline). Candidates are asked to send / have sent the following to damian.markham@lip6.fr.
For more information about the QI team, please see here. Please feel free to contact us with questions to damian.markham@lip6.fr.
The Quantum Information (QI) team in LIP6, Sorbonne Université, is looking for several post doc positions of various lengths on different topics, please see below for more details.
Applicants should send their CV, a cover letter and arrange for at least two references to be sent to qi@lip6.fr.
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.
The deadline for the first round of applications is 30/06/2024, and the second round of application is 31/08/2024.

We are opening an experimental post-doc position in the context of national and European collaborative projects. The guiding line of the experiments in our quantum photonics laboratory is the demonstration of a practical quantum advantage in terms of security and efficiency for advanced communication, cryptographic and computing tasks, in the context of realistic quantum networks. We are also interested in developing and implementing robust certification and verification methods for quantum devices and systems.
