PhD

** Project: Practical self-correcting quantum memories

The project seeks to develop a quantum computer device where the nuclear spin of a donor atom in silicon is integrated with a gate-defined quantum dot. This type of device will represent the unit cell of a scalable quantum processor, which combines the exceptional coherence and gate fidelity of nuclear spins with the addressability and manufacturability of semiconductor quantum dots.

I would like to announce several openings of Postdoc and PhD positions relating to formal verification and quantum computing / quantum crypto in Dominique Unruh's group, the Chair for Quantum Information Systems, RWTH Aachen, Germany.

Feel free to share this in your network (especially with gifted master students who may not yet be in this channel).

You will develop the theory that connects quantum experiments with mechanical systems to questions in fundamental physics, establishing what such experiments can and cannot reveal about nature.

PhD Candidate Openings: Open Quantum Systems & Many-Body Physics

The Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) in Warsaw is seeking
two Research Assistants / PhD Candidates (R1 Researchers) to join the
EUCENTRAL – Center for Quantum Technologies Modelling project.

Applications are invited for PhD students in quantum computing and artificial intelligence, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Yuxuan Zhang at the National University of Singapore, starting in August 2027. At least three fully funded places are available, in the School of Computing and in the Department of Physics.

There are openings for Ph.D positions in Post Quantum Cryptography at VIT Vellore (Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, SCOPE) in Sharma Group of Quantum Information Theory; Interested candidates may send complete CV at iitbkapil@gmail.com OR may have a look for Januray 2027 at VIT Vellore website for application at (https://vit.ac.in/admissions/research). The Broucher of the programmer is given at the link, the application process is started.

The Quantum Network Group at the Institute of Applied Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (https://www.aph.kit.edu/mueller/english/index.php) researches optically active semiconductor quantum dots and related semiconductor structures to enable functionality for long-distance quantum networks. We are looking for a motivated, experimentally inclined PhD student to complement our team.

ColibrITD is a start-up specialized in the development of quantum algorithms for multiphysics simulation, with a particular focus on industrial use cases. In particular, the company is developing a quantum solver for differential equations (ODEs/PDEs), currently accessible through IBM’s quantum platform [1, 2, 3]. Its R&D team consists of around ten permanent researchers specializing in variational quantum algorithms and their implementation on simulators and quantum machines.
