PhD

How should one design the ideal programming language for current and future quantum computers? What are appropriate concepts, abstractions, and paradigms? Is there a fundamental difference between programming small and large quantum computers? How can type systems and formal methods help ensure that quantum software works correctly by construction - even when current quantum hardware is noisy? How can quantum programs be debugged when quantum bits collapse upon inspection? And how can all this help algorithm designers analyze innovative new quantum algorithms?

If the above sounds exciting to you, then you should consider applying!

The research group Quantum Information at Ruhr University Bochum led by Michael Walter is hoping to recruit a doctoral student (m/f/d, 100%, 3 years) for the interdisciplinary BMBF project QuBRA. You will work towards a doctorate on questions such as the above (...)

The theory group at Forschungszentrum Juelich is looking for highly motivated candidates to fill a fully-funded PhD position over the next few months.
It is a fully-funded PhD position focusing on theoretical aspects of large scale quantum processors using machine learning. The projects will be supervised by Dr M.H. Ansari and may involve collaborations with leading experimental groups.

Several PhD positions are available at Heriot-Watt University on different aspects related to quantum technology with spin qubits:

We offer a 3.5-years PhD position for a motivated researcher to join our work on adaptive quantum sensing. Our goal is to develop an automatic quantum sensor, based on a single spin in diamond, enhanced by machine learning algorithms. The sensor will automatically optimize its settings to operate in conditions of maximum sensitivity, minimizing the estimation times.

We welcome applications for a postdoctoral or/and a doctoral position in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the ‘Johannes Gutenberg’ University of Mainz to work in the ‘NEUQUAM’ research group led by Jun. Prof. Dr. J. Marino (https://sites.google.com/view/nequantumuniv)

The appointed candidate will be a highly-motivated, qualified and independent researcher, keen to join our research team.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on theoretical aspects related to quantum many-body physics. The research will focus in particular on:

- the investigation of non-equilibrium processes in synthetic quantum matter

- the development of quantum cellular automata and quantum enhanced neural network designs

- the application of advanced numerical methods (e.g. tensor networks) to model quantum neural networks and cellular automata
