Contrats post-doctoraux

Post-Doctoral Position in Quantum Communications

Description: A 2-year post-doc position is available to develop experimental quantum communication protocols, focused on the continuous variables encoding. The duration of the contract can be extended at the candidate's request, subject to his/her performance results. The candidate will join Telecom Paris, one of the member of the Institute Polytechnique de Paris. We target December 1st 2023 for the starting date, but with some flexibility to start later (until February 2024). The work of the post-doctoral student will be part of the European project QSNP (Quantum Secure Network Partnership) gathering 40 European academical and industrial partners. She/He will be cosupervised by Dr. Nicolas Fabre (GTO, Telecom Paris) and Prof. Romain Alléaume (Quriosity = QTY, Telecom Paris - Inria). Read more

Contrat post-doctoral - Nonlinear and quantum optical metasurfaces

Description:
This research project is built on the synergic collaboration of our group in Paris and the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität in Jena. Based on our pioneer experimental demonstration of two-photon quantum states [G. Marino et al., Optica (2019)] and our very recent theoretical work on a quasinormal-mode approach to describe their generation [M.A. Weissflog et al., arXiv:2305.19362], our joint efforts with the German partner aim to demonstrate ultrathin quantum state synthesizers allowing to tune all properties of photonic states by control of size, shape, orientation and spatial distribution of the nanoresonators. To reach this breakthrough, we can count on key competitive advantage in both the technological platform (monolithic AlGaAs-on-AlOx, hybrid AlGaAs-on-sapphire) and the theoretical domain (quasi-normal-mode nonlinear modelling), besides our state-of-the-art nonlinear and quantum optics experimental facilities, and our international leadership in this research domain.
Our goal is to control frequency conversion processes to establish new and sophisticated ultra-broadband ultrafast quantum light sources, from visible to mid-infrared. In contrast to bulk natural materials or thin-films, metasurfaces are amenable to having their optical properties tailored to a specific task and thus may become the most versatile source of entangled photon pairs available. Allowing to engineer space, frequency, and polarization entanglement, our metasurfaces design will be suitable for a wide range of applications, with an especially high potential impact on quantum imaging and holography. Read more

Contrat post-doctoral - Nonlinear optical metasurfaces with real-time wavefront control

Description:
We search for a skilled and motivated post-doctoral fellow to explore new horizons in optical metasurfaces. He/She will design, fabricate and optically characterize new nonlinear metasurfaces operating from the visible to the mid-infrared range, with a focus on ultrafast dynamically controlled semiconductor-on-insulator devices. His/Her activity will mainly take place in Paris in the framework of the METAFAST EU Project. Read more

Contrat post-doctoral - modélisation numérique avancée pour les métasurfaces quantiques

Description :
Dans le cadre de ce projet post-doctoral, un premier objectif sera de formaliser et de développer les outils de modélisation appropriés pour étudier l'interaction d'un photon unique et d'une métasurface. Le second objectif sera d'appliquer les outils numériques développés pour concevoir des configurations de métasurface pour le traitement de l'information du quantique. Ce projet post-doctoral se déroulera au sein de l'équipe du projet Atlantis au centre de recherche Inria de l'Université Côte d'Azur à Sophia Antipolis. De plus, il sera mené en étroite collaboration avec nos partenaires physiciens pour les questions de modélisation physique théorique, l'interprétation des résultats de simulation et les applications potentielles.
