The Theory of Quantum Materials and Solid-State Quantum technologies group at the Materials Science Institute Madrid (ICMM) is seeking well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientists at PhD and Postdoc level in theory and simulation of hybrid semiconductor-superconductor systems , including quantum devices like qubits. We seek persons with interest in condensed matter theory, quantum computing, etc. The project involves a close collaboration with state-of-the-art experimental labs.

The development and deployment of quantum technologies has become one of the paramount tasks for science in the 21st century. Quantum systems are characterized by their coherence. In order to preserve coherence, the systems need to be extremely well isolated from their environment and cooled down to extremely low temperatures.

The project aims to optimally allocate available quantum and classical resources a developer needs for a specific algorithm, by breaking larger circuits into smaller pieces that are distributed to different quantum processing units in parallel, with few quantum connectives between them, and then recombining the results.
