About us

Unitary Fund is a non-profit research group helping build a quantum technology industry that benefits the most people. We support the community, e.g. running a grant program to support the development of new open source quantum software, and we do our own research on key projects for the ecosystem.

We’re hiring Members of Technical Staff to work on our open source research projects. You will develop software and perform research as part of a sponsored research project led by Unitary Fund, in collaboration with key players from the industry and research sector.

The „Quantum Valley Lower Saxony“ (QVLS-Q1) research consortium, a collaboration between TU Braunschweig, Leibniz University Hannover and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), aims at realizing a 50-qubit quantum computer based on trapped ions.

The consortium invites applications for the position of a Junior Research Group Leader (m/f/d) in Cloud-based Quantum Technologies (Salary Scale 14 TV-L, 100 %) at the earliest possible date. The position is limited to 3 years with a possibility of extension. The location is Hannover.

The role

Nu Quantum has created a new way of achieving single-photon detection using a proprietary semiconductor structure. You will be part of the team developing the first and second generation of Nu Quantum single-photon detector products. You will be involved in the design, test, and optimisation of the single-photon detectors, as well as the design, implementation, and use of the single-photon measurement and characterisation suite.

Requirements

The role

Nu Quantum is developing novel quantum photonics components employing proprietary nanostructures. You will be involved in the cleanroom nanofabrication and processing of these devices and will be part of the team designing, testing and optimising the technology.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have the following skills/experience/qualifications:

5+ years industry or academic cleanroom nanofabrication experience, specialising in (III-V) semiconductor photonics or optoelectronics. Skills:

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) at the University of Plymouth, UK, is seeking to recruit a Research Assistant with expertise in software development and quantum computing, and familiarity with the field of computer music, to work on the “Quantum Computing and Music” project.

The objective of the project is to initiate the development of an open source (GitHub based) programming toolbox designed for sound and music with quantum computing, accompanied with tutorials and demonstrations.

The School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University (SFU) invites applications for a prestigious Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Quantum Computing. SFU is the host university of the Quantum Algorithms Institute, which is an interdisciplinary, multi-university initiative with an initial investment of $17M committed by the Province of British Columbia. In addition, Vancouver is the home of multiple leading quantum companies such as D-Wave and 1Qbit.

The editors of Physical Review A seek a dynamic and personable colleague for the position of Associate Editor. The primary responsibility is to manage the peer review process and decide, aided by expert input, which papers merit publication according to the journal's criteria. The Associate Editor is expected, after an initial training period, to take independent actions on submitted manuscripts.

Really exciting career opportunity to join our team and help shape the future of quantum in beautiful British Columbia! Deadline to apply Nov. 16th .

The Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI) is seeking its inaugural Executive Director. The QAI is a newly established not-for-profit corporation involving multiple industry and academic partners.
