During this internship, we will develop the theoretical tools describing the dynam- ics of novel coherent quantum systems and devices aiming at controlling spin qubits. Such systems are being currently built and investigated in the framework of the
Quantum Silicon in Grenoble. This consortium brings together many experimentalists and theorists, also outside Grenoble, collaborating in the challenging goal to build a quantum computer based on emerging Silicon and Germanium platforms. Many fundamental and practical questions have still to be addressed and solved on the theory side to guide ongoing experiments: ranging from designing well functioning multiple spin qubits architectures, studying their interaction with superconducting elements, to understanding their fundamentally complex out-of-equilibrium dynamics, to perform controlled quantum simulation or information operations. This theoretical research will definitively have an impact on “real” experiments and your work will be constantly discussed with a variegated group of scientist with experimental and theoretical backgrounds.

During this internship, you will deepen your knowledge of the rapidly developing fields of many-body quantum systems, material science and quantum matter and sharpen your analytical and numerical skills (in particular relying on
TB Sim, a qubit simulator developed by my close collaborator, Yann-Michel Niquet). These skills are strongly appreciated also outside academia.

Two words about myself as my internet site is not ready yet...
Hi! I am Michele Filippone and I am a new permanent theoretical researcher of the team L Sim at the CEA–Grenoble. After my Ph.D. at the E ́cole Normale Supe ́rieure of Paris and a Post-doc in Berlin, I have started my independent research activity in Geneva, where I have built my first research group. I have a longstanding interest in the description of the dynamics of quantum circuits, where quantum coherence, entanglement, superconductivity, Coulomb interactions and other intriguing phenomena are simultaneously at work. During my past research activity, I have advised several young researchers and established multiple collaborations with various experimental groups (including Google) studying quan- tum devices, cold atoms and topological materials.
