Tenors Project

Abstract and objectives

Tenors is a four-year project financed by the HORIZON–MSCA-2023-DN-JD of the European Commission under the Grant Agreement No 101120296. It starts in January 2024 and will end in December 2027. TENORS is coordinated by Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur; it brings together 11 beneficiaries and 10 associated partners from across Europe.

TENORS objective is to hire 15 PhD thesis starting from 2024 (Recruitment under process). It is aimed to conduct advanced research that addresses critical challenges in the field of tensor computation, and to feed an innovative and ambitious PhD program to train highly qualified young scientists in new scientific and technological knowledge.

Tensors are ubiquitous and multi-form in scientific computing, but the current techniques have some limitations, such as the lack of precision, scalability, adaptability or fine analysis, that requires new dedicated investigations.

The methodology, envisioned in TENORS, is to combine expertise and to integrate approaches from different areas of mathematics, data science, computational engineering and physics to develop new computation paradigms and new powerful levers to tackle these challenges in tensor computation and modeling, and to augment the practical impact of tensor methods. TENORS join together in a unifying way,forces from algebraic geometry, global optimisation, numerical computation,high performance computing, data science, quantum physics. Finally, the Quantum Sensing Testbed will benchmark sensing and metrology instruments provided by industry and use a large suite of quantum sensors (clocks, gravimeters, magnetometers, imagers) to validate industrial use cases aiming at generating new business cases for quantum sensing and metrology devices. With additional services of IPR support, business coaching and innovation management, Qu-Test supports the European quantum industry with a holistic one-stop-shop to move the full ecosystem forward.
