Inria Associate Teams Not Involved in an Inria International Labs

TAQUILLA: is an Inria associate team (between Quantic team and Yale university) with principal Inria investigator, Mazyar Mirrahimi, and principal Yale investigator Michel Devoret. In this framework we had many exchanges between Inria and Yale in 2016. Shantanu Mundhada from Yale visited Inria for 2 months. Nicolas Didier and Lucas Verney visited Yale for 3 months, and Joachim Cohen for 3 weeks.

Pierre Rouchon is a participant to the Inria associate Team CDSS with principal Inria investigator, François Dufour of the Inria Team Project CQFD on the topic "Control of dynamic systems subject to stochastic jumps".

Inria International Partners

Informal International Partners

• Partner 1: University of Yale

• The long-term collaborations with the teams of Michel H. Devoret, Robert J. Schoelkopf, Liang Jiang and Steven M. Girvin, enforced through a two year sabbatical visit of Mazyar Mirrahimi at Yale university, have led to a set of contributions ranging from the theoretical analysis and performance optimization of ongoing experiments on weak quantum measurements  [71] and preparation of non-classical field states through single photon Kerr effect  [75] to the design of new experiments on single qubit cooling  [67] and stabilization of maximally entangled states of superconducting qubits [9] by reservoir engineering techniques. Through these collaborations, Zaki Leghtas and Mazyar Mirrahimi have introduced a new direction for hardware-efficient universal quantum computation  [81], [90]. These theoretical proposals have already led to groundbreaking experiments [5], [6], [10]. This collaboration is partially formalized through the Taquilla associate team.

• Partner 2: University of SaoPaulo and Federal University of Santa Catarina

• Pierre Rouchon is collaborating with P. S. Pereira da Silva (Escola Politecnica, PTC, University of SaoPaulo, Brazil) and H. B. Silveira Federal (University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianopolis, Brazil) on the system theory problems behind the experiment on the feedback stabilization of the photon box.
