DOCTORAL CAMPAIGN OF THE INSTITUTES AND INITIATIVES

In the framework of the Institutes and Initiatives of the Sorbonne University Alliance (ASU), a campaign to award doctoral contracts funded by the French Initiative of Excellence (Idex) has been launched in January 2021.
As for 2020, QICS is offering two thesis scholarships. Among the many projects received, QICS has chosen to retain 6 projects, of which the details are as follows:

• Realizing arbitrary quantum operations on a mechanical oscillato
• Complex quantum Networks for quantum machine learning protocols
• MecaFlux
• Peignes de fréquences quantiques pour des protocoles d'information quantique
• Quantum Hamiltonian Complexity and Derandomization
• Impact of quantum computers on Impagliazzo’s five worlds

Next deadlines :

•     Until May 3: submission of applications by students
•     Until May 21: audition of the candidates
•     May 24: announcement of results
