4 France: a long tradition of research in quantum physics Kastler: optical pumping (Nobel 1966) Claude Cohen-Tannoudji: cold atoms (Nobel 1997) Albert Fert: giant magnetoresistance (Nobel 2007) Alain Aspect: tests of Bell s inequalities (CNRS Gold Medal 2005, Wolf prize 2010) Serge Haroche: manipulation of individual quantum systems (Nobel 2012) 5

5 Exemple: quantum computing 8

6 Platforms 9

7 Platforms network The network consists in Six main facilities: CEA-Leti, an integration center that develops research in the field of micro and nanotechnologies, which means assessment of technologies and associated process tools including characterization, from early demonstrators up to prototypes in the view of transfer towards industry ( CEA-LETI operates 8,000m2 of state-of-the-art clean rooms in 24/7 mode, on industry standard 200mm and 300mm wafer sizes. Five academic facilities (FEMTO, IEMN, LAAS, C2N and LTM) managed by CNRS and universities that are associated within a network of academic facilities called Renatech ( operating 7,000m2 of cleanrooms. This academic research infrastructure network has invested in processing and characterization tools oriented towards long-term and high-risk investigations. 10

8 French forces 675 researchers active in the field 520 PhD and Post-Docs 90 M (permanent researchers + environment) 20 M (Phd+Post-docs) 55 laboratories are concerned around 50 french companies and 20 european companies collaborate with them 900 scientific publications/year 15 European Research Council grants laureates 11

11 French strategy A good knowledge of research teams and themes: National network created 10 years ago List of projects supported by ANR Many researchers involved in the preceding european steps After Amsterdam, organisation by Ministry of Research of the French response Organisation of a launch workshop in July 2016 Institutional steering committee with most active research organisms and universities: 3 national research organisms (CNRS, CEA, INRIA) 4 Excellence Initiative laureates Paris-Saclay University consortium Sorbonne University consortium Paris Science et Lettre consortium 14

12 French strategy High level strategic committee 3 Scientists: Serge Haroche, Nobel 2012, Alain Aspect, CNRS Gold medal 2005, Jean Dalibard, Professor Collège de France 3 industry representatives: Thierry Breton, CEO ATOS/Bull, Philippe Camus, non-executive Chairman of the Board Alcatel-Lucent, managing partner of the Lagardère Group and Senior Managing Director of investment bank Evercore Partners, and Cedric Demeure, Vice-President for Research and Innovation, Thales. Scientific committee Use the inventory of thematics and teams from reports of the July 2016 workshop to prepare french contributions to the European committees Contributions are validated by the High level strategic committee 15

13 Institutional committee Office of the Minister CNRS deputy director for science CNRS Institute of Physics INRIA deputy director ANR (Nat. Funding Agency) Paris Science et Lettres (IDEX) Sorbonne University (IDEX) Strategic office representative, General directorate for research and innovation (DGRI) Mission for Europe and International (DGRI) CEA deputy director for science CEA LETI director National test Laboratory (LNE) Université Grenoble Alpes (IDEX) Paris-Saclay University (IDEX) 16

14 Companies having expressed interest to get involved in the French contribution France : BBRIGHT, QUANTEL, THALES, SAGEM, SAFRAN, Alcatel Lucent, Cailabs, LightOn, Sodern, Muquans, Gorgy timing, EOLAS, Syrlinks, Tronics, D- Wave, Solvay, Nanobiotix, Pollen Metrology, Nanomakers, NanoCeram, IDIL, Timelink Microsystems, KILYIA, NeaPlus, VTT, Lyted, NOVASiC, GrapHeat, Annealsys, CryoConcept, PRYSMIAN, IXCORE, Nokia Alcatel, Huawei (en discussion), Airbus, Orange, Orsay Physics, Minalogic, Air Liquide, TEEM Photonics, St Gobain, Total, AUREA Technology, mirsense, Apex Technologies, Yenista, PSA, EXEM Midi-Pyrénées, GERFLOR, ixblue, SOITEC, Sofradir, GLO Photonics Outside France : Attocube, Radiant Dye Lasers, Menlo Systems, Alpes Lasers, ID Quantique, SCONTEL, Toshiba Research Europe Limited, Single Quantum BV, Cryptosystems, Mitsubishi electrics, Toshiba, Bluefors, anyon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Keysight Technologies, Raytheon BBN Technologies, AMAT 18

15 French initiatives There are several source of funding in France : ANR: national research agency Commissariat Grands Investissements Direction générale de l Armement 19

16 French initiatives ANR: national research agency Direct participation to European financing exemple : 2.5 M contribution to the QUANTERA call New: specific budgets for research priorities defined by the MENESR, starting in 2018 pre-defined amount defined by the average over 10 years: 5.7M /year minimum. Joints company-public labs program (PRCE) possible on top of that 20

17 French initiatives Commissariat Grands Investissements Financed projects: LABEX, IDEX, EQUIPEX 4 accepted IDEX (Excellence Initiative) have accepted to participate to FET-Flagship QUTE: Sorbonne University, Paris Science et Lettre, Paris Saclay and Grenoble-Alpes (~0.5 to 1M /year) 21

18 French initiatives Commissariat Grands Investissements Financed projects: LABEX, IDEX, EQUIPEX LABEX (Laboratory of Excellence), coordinated in the framework of the national network IQFA: FIRST-TF (time frequency metrology-national) SEAM (Science and Engineering for Advanced Materials for Univ. Sorbonne Paris Cité) NanoSaclay and PALM (Univ Paris-Saclay) LANEF (U Grenoble-Alpe) ENS-ICFP (PSL-SU) ACTION (Univ. Bourgogne) NEXT (Univ. Paul Sabatier-Toulouse) Each has a budget from 8 to 10 M /10 years, ending in 2019 They are prolonged for 5 1/2 years after 2019 ~5M each (decided Feb. 14 th ) 22

19 French initiatives Commissariat Grands Investissements New initiative: Programme d Investissements d Avenir #3. Calls in 2017, financing for 10 years, starting in 2018 structuring équipement for research (350 M total budget). Two technology platforms: RENATECH LETI Research priority programs (280M total budget) Discussion to reserve a part of this funding for QUTE (20 to 50M /10 years) 24

20 French initiatives Direction générale de l Armement (defense) Several programs involved; Annual budget for QUTE 1.6M /year: ANR special program Astrid Calls for PhD This part is mostly focused on sensing Expressed an interest on quantum cryptography 25

21 Conclusion France is ready and willing to make a sizable contribution to the program and resulting research, at the fundamental, development and industrialisation phase Ready to improve and evolve national facilities to open to the FET-Flagship (around the REMATCH LETI in Grenoble) by committing Future Investments Plan funding Co-financing through ANR priorities. Future Investments Plan coming up Co-financing by 4 IDEX Co-financing by DGA 16/02/2016 Titre du document 26
