Post-doctoral fellow in quantum foundations and algebraic methods - 18 months contract

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher specialising in quantum foundations and algebraic methods to join the INFRES department at Télécom Paris. The position is hosted by Quriosity, a joint Inria and Télécom Paris team within the LTCI laboratory and the Computer Science and Networks department (INFRES). Based in Palaiseau on the Saclay plateau, the team benefits from an active research environment in quantum information and quantum foundations. The position is part of the PIQ project “New algebraic tools for causal decompositions of quantum processes”, led by Augustin Vanrietvelde. This recruitment covers phase 1 of the project, for 18 months. The project investigates the causal decomposition conjecture: every unitary channel should admit a decomposition whose connections faithfully reflect its causal structure. The aim is to develop algebraic and syntactic tools to investigate open cases, construct decompositions or identify obstructions. The research is exploratory; partial results and limitations of the methods will be documented. Your main responsibilities will include : . Conduct research on causal decompositions of quantum processes within phase 1 of the PIQ project. Supervise and mentor student projects and internships. Contribute to the scientific visibility of Télécom Paris, the Institut Mines-Télécom and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Job requirements . You mus
