Mission confiée

The MOCQUA team at the Loria laboratory in Nancy (France) is looking for a PhD student in the theory of quantum computing.

The goal of the project will be to analyze how the energy consumption of fault-tolerant quantum computers scales as a function of the size of quantum algorithms, in a regime where the computation is specifically optimized to minimize energy consumption rather than qubits or gates counts. The main objective will in particular be to determine whether better energy scaling than that predicted by the quantum threshold theorems [1,2] can be achieved, thanks to a coupling of hardware noise and energy models with the theory of fault-tolerant quantum computing, following the approaches ...
