I joined INRIA april 2021 after 2 years at LIP6 (Sorbonne Université - CNRS). I started research on quantum information in 2000 at Los Alamos National Lab with W.H. Zurek working on decoherence — introducing Quantum Discord and the first characterizations of Quantum Darwinism. I joined Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics as a Postdoctoral fellow in 2004, working mainly on quantum error correction and quantum algorithms.

I paused research in 2007, switching to corporate finance at the Ministry of Finance, then rapidly joining a private equity fund and finally launching a successful M&A boutique that soon reached more than 25 professionals and 5 offices across France. At the end of 2017, I founded an AI-based startup for reconstructing hidden professional network in the corporate finance space.

I currently head the QAT team. I serve as deputy scientific director for quantum information science at INRIA. I co-lead the PEPR-Quantique (150MEUR) and the Hybrid HPCxQuantum Initiative R&D program (36MEUR).
