Présentation

QURIOSITY’s ambition is to extend the application horizon of quantum information science by addressing novel questions positioned at the intersection between theoretical research in quantum information and the engineering of quantum devices, with a focus on approaches combining digital and quantum photonics technologies.

The overarching goal of the project-team will be to push forward our ability to harness and exploit high-dimensional complex quantum systems for quantum information processing and quantum communications purposes.

Leveraging a dual approach combining fundamental research in quantum information with quantum photonics expertise, QURIOSITY will strive to take advantage of and develop strong synergies with the unique quantum ecosystem of Saclay and to pursue objectives that have the potential to bring radical advances to several application domains of quantum technologies, ranging from cryptography to computing.


Axes de recherche

Research axis 1: Quantum cryptography complexity and hardware frontiers 

Combine quantum and complexity-based cryptographic schemes, and consider new security models, to push forward security and practicality of quantum cryptography. Design quantum-enhanced cryptographic hardware, leveraging concepts based on computational hardness and quantum information.

 

Research axis 2:  Multimode photonic systems for quantum information processing and communications

Conceive and engineer photonic-based processors and systems capable of achieving quantum advantage in computation or communication tasks. 

 

Research axis 3: Mathematical foundations of quantum information 

 Develop efficient quantum information processing schemes implementable on near-term hardware and advance the theoretical framework to understand the fundamental limits of noisy quantum information processing.
