Description du poste

The position is hosted by the The team values diversity and is committed to building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds.

The position is accompanied by a generous travel allowance and is potentially renewable for a third year.

Proposed research project

This position is part of the “Bosonic Lattice Codes” (BoLaCo) project, a French-German collaboration funded by the ANR and the DFG, in partnership with Prof. Jens Eisert’s group at Freie Universität Berlin. The project aims to develop new theoretical and practical frameworks for bosonic quantum error correcting codes , especially Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes [1], using tools from lattice theory and coding theory. This builds upon previous work by the project partners that studied the relation of GKP codes to lattices [2] and the use of this connection for the design of new codes [3].

Assignments :

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the development of quantum error correcting codes and fault tolerant primitives (state preparation, syndrome extraction, logical gates) for bosonic systems and explore their mathematical and practical properties in relation to different experimental platforms leveraging tools from lattice theory.

In addition to work within the BoLaCo project, the postdoc will have the opportunity to contribute to other ongoing activities of the QAT team : Mao Lin, Christopher Chamberland, Kyungjoo Noh,Closest lattice point decoding for multimode Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill codes,
