[peqi-hackathon-orga] Thank you for your application to the pan-European Quantum Internet Hackathon!

Dear Hackathon organisers,

As requested I send you this email to let you know about my application to the Pan-European Quantum Internet Hackathon that seems to be a little late.
Thank you in advance for your attention.

Best regards,

Guillaume Quétant

Dear Guillaume Quétant,

Thank you for your application. You will hear back from the jury after the application deadline.

Final application deadline is 30 October, noon CET.

If you are applying after the deadline, be advised that your application will take additional time to be processed.

Please email "peqi-hackathon-orga at ripe.net" to let the organisers know that you have applied.

If you have any questions, please contact labs at ripe.net

 University of Geneva

Country of Residence:
 Switzerland

Choose your preferred location to participate in the hackathon:
 Geneva

Primary Occupation:
 Student

Your Skills:
 Quantum information theory, Quantum field theory

Motivation:
 Dear jury,

I am currently a master student in theoretical physics at the University of Geneva. I am very interested in quantum information and quantum technology and I plan to continue my career in this direction. That is the reason why the Pan-European Quantum Internet Hackathon attracts me. By participating I expect to contribute in the promising field of quantum technology and communication.

During my bachelor’s degree I took a course on quantum information theory in the Group of Applied Physics (GAP) of the University of Geneva. It allowed me to develop theoretical skills in quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, quantum error correction, quantum teleportation, etc. Moreover, I did a two months experiment in the GAP developing a quantum random number generator with a LED, a small camera and a Raspberry Pie. This Hackathon is a great opportunity for me to increase my knowledge and to acquire new skills in this area.

The research topic of my master thesis covers high-energy physics. I am looking at interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics and I will analyze the capabilities of the future colliders to detect them. I have chosen this orientation because on one hand I like quantum field theory also and on the other hand I want to study machine learning, that I will use to do the analysis. I think that the connection between quantum computing and machine learning could be extremely fruitful in the future.

Apart from my academic background I was hired for two website management contracts. This gave me some knowledge of different programming language such as JavaScript, PHP and HTML that complemented to others I learned through various academic projects, including Python, C++ and Java. In addition, these jobs provided me an insight into the security requirements of internet communications, which is a key point of this Hackathon.

Thank you for considering my application. I hope that my skills match the requirement of the Pan-European Quantum Internet Hackathon and that I will be able to join the Geneva node. I would be extremely happy to participate in the development of the future technologies.

Sincerely,

Guillaume Quétant

Information to share with participants:
 Hi,

I'm a master student in theoretical physics at the University of Geneva. I studied quantum information theory during my bachelor's degree and built a small quantum random number generator for a laboratory course. For my master thesis I'm studying quantum field theory and effective field theory to examine new physics beyond the standard model of particle interaction and I'll use machine learning to determine whether or not it will be observable in the (near) future. The convergence of quantum technology and artificial intelligence is of great interest for me. I also have some knowledge of diverse programming language, like Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML.

I'm very excited about the prospect of participating with you in the development of future technologies!
