Descrip­tion: The Paris Cen­tre for Quan­tum Com­put­ing brings togeth­er com­put­er sci­en­tists, the­o­ret­i­cal & exper­i­men­tal physi­cists and math­e­mati­cians that work to devel­op nov­el quan­tum infor­ma­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion tech­nolo­gies. With­in the QIA we will lead the design and imple­men­ta­tion of the future quan­tum Inter­net appli­ca­tions in col­lab­o­ra­tion with our indus­tri­al part­ners. The cen­tral respon­si­bil­i­ties in this the­sis is to imple­ment quan­tum pro­to­cols in soft­ware and design a mod­u­lar and appli­ca­tion lay­er soft­ware library to facil­i­tate pro­to­col imple­men­ta­tion. This library will pro­vide a set of atom­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion tasks to quan­tum com­mu­ni­ca­tion pro­to­cols iden­ti­fied with­in QIA. This atom­ic­i­ty will enable build­ing “advanced” pro­to­cols by com­bin­ing these atom­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion tasks eas­i­ly in soft­ware. In addi­tion, this decom­po­si­tion facil­i­tates the study of the hard­ware para­me­ters suf­fi­cient to realise pro­to­cols by reduc­ing (part of) their study to the inves­ti­ga­tion of the atom­ic tasks them­selves. The pre­ferred pro­file is a comouter sci­ence stu­dent with famil­iar­i­ty in both the­o­ry and cod­ing.
