International Research Visitors

Visits of International Scientists

• Francesca Chittaro from Université de Toulon made a 6-month sabbatical visit (February-July 2016) working on adiabatic elimination for composite quantum systems. Preliminary results have been submitted to the IFAC World Congress 2017 [32].

• P. S. Pereira da Silva (Escola Politécnica, PTC, University of SaoPaulo, Brazil) made a 3-week visit (June 27 to July 15) to investigate with Mazyar Mirrahimi and Pierre Rouchon controllability issues on composite quantum systems.

Internships

• In the framework of the Inria-MITACS program, Pantita Palittapongarnpim, student in the group of Barry Sanders at University of Calgary, visited QUANTIC for a period of 4 months working on optimal control methods for photon-number parity measurements.

• In the framework of TAQUILLA associate team, Shantanu Mundhada, student in the group of Michel Devoret at Yale University, visited QUANTIC for a period of 2 months working on circuit designs for high-order non-linear quantum dissipation.

• Partner: University of Calgary

• In the framework of the Inria-MITACS program, Pantita Palittapongarnpim, student in the group of Barry Sanders visited QUANTIC for a period of 4 months working on optimal control methods for photon-number parity measurements.

Visits to International Teams

Research Stays Abroad

• In the framework of TAQUILLA associate team, Mazyar Mirrahimi spent four months in the Quantronics Laboratory of Michel H. Devoret and in the Rob Schoelkopf Lab at Yale University. Also, in this same framework Nicolas Didier and Lucas Verney spent three months and Joachim Cohen three weeks in the same group.

• Pierre Rouchon was invited to give a one-week visit and several lectures on modelling and control of open-quantum systems at Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China), College of control and Engineering (28 May – 7 June 2016).
