About the research centre or Inria department
The Inria Saclay-Île-de-France Research Centre was established in 2008. It has developed as part of
the Saclay site in partnership with Paris-Saclay University and with the Institut Polytechnique de
Paris .
The centre has 39 project teams , 27 of which operate jointly with Paris-Saclay University and the
Institut Polytechnique de Paris; Its activities occupy over 600 people, scientists and research and
innovation support staff, including 44 different nationalities.
Assignment
The research project will explore the limits of quantum distributed computing based on the concept of quantum nonlocality and quantum networks. A non-exhaustive list of potential projects is:
- Find bounds on quantum abilities at distributed tasks based on
- the concept of No-Signaling (see arXiv:0903.113), or
- the quantum NPA (see arXiv:0803.4290) and Inflation-NPA hierarchies (see arXiv:1909.10519)
- Find ‘interesting’ distributed tasks with a quantum advantage (see arXiv:1810.10838 for a ‘not so interesting’ task)
- Generalize the concept of ‘Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality’ introduced in arXiv:2105.09381
- Develop the applications of network nonlocality, both for understanding the foundations of quantum information theory (see arXiv:2101.10873) and its applications (see arXiv:2201.05032)
Any other suggested research project in quantum information theory can be discussed (both from the physics or the computer science viewpoint).
Main activities
The project will be achieved by collaborating with Marc-Olivier Renou and other members of the group, as well as Jukka Suomela (Aalto University, Finland). Long research stays in Aalto University will be encouraged.
Skills
The applicant should hold a PhD degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related field and have an excellent track record of publications in quantum information theory. Familiarity with Bell nonlocality, synchronous distributed computing and / or semidefinite programming is a plus.

protection du potentiel scientifique et
technique de la nation (PPST). L’autorisation
d’accès à une zone est délivrée par le chef
d’établissement, après avis ministériel
favorable, tel que défini dans l’arrêté du 03
juillet 2012, relatif à la PPST. Un avis ministériel
défavorable pour un poste affecté dans une
ZRR aurait pour conséquence l’annulation du
recrutement.
