Antoine Tilloy

Antoine Tilloy is an Assistant Professor at the Centre Automatique et Systèmes, Mines ParisTech, part of Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL). He is also affiliated with the Quantic research team at Inria, reflecting his dual academic and research institute role. His work bridges theoretical physics, quantum information, and nuclear engineering, with a focus on tensor networks and quantum field theory.

Research Interests:

• Quantum Field Theory (non-perturbative methods)
• Tensor Networks for many-body quantum systems
• Quantum Foundations and Measurement Theory
• Semiclassical and Quantum Gravity
• Nuclear Engineering and Fuel Cycle Physics

His recent research has explored the application of tensor networks to solve quantum field theories, the philosophical and technical challenges in defining QFT rigorously, and the physics of nuclear fuel recycling. He advocates for a 'pile of dirt' approach—tackling messy, realistic models over highly structured but artificial ones.

Scientific Contributions:

• Active contributor to non-perturbative QFT methods
• ERC-funded research and postdoctoral supervision
• Public engagement through blog posts and science communication

Advising and Grants:

While specific students are not listed, he leads an ERC-funded project and has advertised postdoctoral positions, indicating active mentorship. His research is supported by competitive European funding, underscoring its significance in the field.

Labs and Teams:

He is a member of the Quantic team at Inria, a leading research group in quantum information and technologies, and conducts his work at the Centre Automatique et Systèmes at Mines ParisTech.
