My work belongs to three overlapping fields: quantum information and algorithms, algebraic combinatorics, and mathematical economics. I participate in the HQI initiative , from the French national quantum plan, which funds my postdoc together with the Fondation Mathématique Jacques Hadamard . Currently, I am working on
