Description of the Team/Project
This goal of the project is to demonstrate measurement-based quantum algorithms using Quandela's single photon sources. The single photons are entangled in polarization in a linear optics scheme and generate resource states called cluster states. We send these states through a tomography setup to both characterize and apply measurement-based gates. This project is lead by a PhD student and the intern will be working with her on the experiment and on the data analysis.
The intern will develop their skills in a quantum optics labs. This includes:

Quandela builds full-stack photonic quantum computers in France, including on-premises MosaiQ hardware and cloud access to its processors. It uses semiconductor quantum-dot single-photon sources to create bright, indistinguishable photons that act as optical qubits, with Perceval, an open-source Python framework, for simulating and programming photonic circuits, and Prometheus, a standalone single-photon source for research labs. The company differentiates itself by offering end-to-end hardware, software, and services—from production in its own facilities to cloud access and an acceleration program that guides clients from use-case exploration to hardware delivery. Its goal is to help clients achieve practical quantum advantages across industries such as cybersecurity, energy, finance, logistics, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals.
