QURIOSITY is an Inria project-team, joint with Télécom Paris - Institut Polytechnique de Paris. The team is part of LTCI (Laboratoire de Traitement et Communication de l’Information) and is affiliated with the Inria Saclay Research Center.
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 quantum engineering. In particular, we intend to exploit the properties of complex high-dimensional quantum systems to achieve advantages in computational or communication tasks, taking advantage of digital information processing and quantum photonics technologies.
QURIOSITY is also an active member of the newly founded Quantum Saclay Center in which Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Université Paris-Saclay are joining their forces in order to build a leading international ecosystem on quantum technologies. The team is moreover well positioned at National and European levels, member of the Paris Region regional network on quantum technologies (DIM QuanTiP) and currently taking part in several projects from the European Quantum Technology Flagship and French National Quantum Strategy.
