Description of the Team/Project

During this internship, you will work on the energetic cost and optimization of photonic fault tolerant quantum computing. Quantum computers are highly sensitive to noise, which induce errors. The latter can be mitigated or corrected at the expense of spending resources, which have an energy cost. The goal of the internship is to build a model tailored to Quandela's hardware, enabling to compute the energy costs of fault tolerant quantum computing. You will work in the Algorithm and Applications team, and build on previous work done for NISQ algorithms.

Your Key Responsibilities

- Perform a literature review on the resource cost of quantum error correction
- Develop a model to evaluate the energy cost of fault tolerant quantum computing
- Write a report with your findings
- Produce a code in Python
- Attend weekly team meetings
