Université Paris Cité: Home to Two Major Quantum Communities
2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. In this context, Université Paris Cité looks back at major quantum-related initiatives carried out within the institution. The Algorithms and Complexity team at IRIF, the Fundamental Computer Science Research Institute (Université Paris Cité/CNRS) and the MPQ laboratory, Materials and Quantum Phenomena (Université Paris Cité/CNRS) now form two communities that notably conduct activities in quantum computing and quantum physics. Miklos Santha, Emeritus Research Director in quantum computing and founder of the Algorithms and Complexity team at IRIF, and Sara Ducci, Professor at Université Paris Cité at the MPQ laboratory, reflect on the history of these two communities.
