We are looking for (a) highly motivated candidate(s) for 1-2 fully funded PhD positions in quantum information and quantum foundations, starting September 2025, at Université de Montréal (UdeM), in the vibrant city of Montréal in Québec, Canada!
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could use a sensor as small as a single electron? We are offering a PhD project on a unique instrument, that uses a single spin in diamond as a tiny quantum sensor, to investigate condensed matter physics problems related to magnetism and superconductivity.
A PhD position is available in the quantum information science group of Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick. The theoretical PhD project will develop schemes for spectroscopy of complex quantum systems using quantum states of light. It will exploit the tools of quantum metrology for precisely estimating parameters of quantum matter systems coupled to quantum and classical environments. Instances include the estimation of parameters such as transition energies, dipole moments, and coupling strengths of molecules in natural or artificial environments.
We will have openings for a PhD and Postdoc positions at the Quantum Algorithmics group at the University of Augsburg. The anticipated starting date is spring 2025.
We are looking for candidates who:
- Enjoy working creatively with numerical methods and heuristic exploration
- Motivation to work on scientific code and software development
- Strong interest in physical concepts and their utilization
- Master's degree/PhD in: Computer Science Physics, Chemistry, or Math (including interdisciplinary programs)
The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials is a joint PhD program between the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany, Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St Andrews, Scotland. By working together, we create a highly attractive overall package of PhD level research on quantum materials. We seek to recruit several PhD students in 2025 for a variety of exciting research projects in the fields of condensed matter physics and solid-state chemistry.
Lund University’s Quantum Information Group is seeking qualified applicants for a research position focused on developing a small quantum processor node, where the qubits consist of individual ions of rare-earth elements (lanthanides). Such a processor node is a key unit that can be used in several quantum technologies, including quantum computing and quantum communication.
The Vigo Quantum Communication Center (https://vqcc.uvigo.es) at the University of Vigo (Spain) invites applications for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in experimental quantum optics. You will work in the new quantum computing lab under the supervision of Professor Alexander Lvovsky (https://quantech.group/). The project is aimed at constructing a quantum optical neural network for combinatorial optimization.

The Nonequilibrium quantum dynamics group (https://www.pks.mpg.de/nqd ) at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (https://www.pks.mpg.de/) in Dresden (Germany) is looking to hire a PhD student to work at the intersection of quantum many-body physics and reinforcement learning (RL).
We are looking for a doctoral researcher for the Quantum Computing research group of Prof. Mariami Gachechiladze at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. The position starts on 01.01.2025 and is in the scope of the newly received BMBF funding in collaboration with the group of Prof. Jakob S. Kottmann at the University of Augsburg and The Marck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company.
Applications are invited for PhD scholarships under the "Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme" to work at the University of Galway (Ireland). Research areas of interest include quantum walks, quantum games, and more generally quantum algorithms. For initial discussions please email mmcgettrick@acm.org
