PostDoc

The University of Toronto Theory of Computation group invites applications for postdoctoral positions in quantum computing and quantum information starting in Fall 2018. Topics of interest within quantum information science include: algorithms, complexity theory, optimization, information theory, and cryptography. We prefer candidates that have a computer science/mathematics background, but all excellent candidates will be considered.

The University of Surrey is looking to employ a full time Research Fellow in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics for a fixed term two year position to participate in the major EU FET project High Frequency Topological Insulator devices for Metrology (HiTIMe) with a potential for extension (project ending is 31 January 2022).

TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITIONS IN QUANTUM THERMODYNAMICS

Applications are being accepted for two postdoctoral research positions
in the Quantum Enabling System Technologies (QuEST) group (https://quest.ku.edu.tr/) of
Professor Ozgur E. Mustecaplioglu at Koc University. Both positions will primarily involve theoretical
studies of quantum thermodynamical properties of systems for specific applications.

The group of Michael Kastoryano (mkastoryano.com) at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Cologne invites applications for both PhD and Postdoctoral positions starting as soon as possible. The salary is based on the German TV-L E13 pay scale. Appointments will be for two years at 100% E13 for postdoctoral researchers and at 66% for three years for doctoral candidates.

The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics (SITP) invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position in quantum information science. Areas of interest include core quantum information subjects such as algorithms, communication and fault-tolerance, in addition to connections with other branches of physics.

A curriculum vitae, publication list, statement of research interests and three letters of recommendation are required. Applications should be uploaded to academicjobsonline.org.

We have an opening for a three-year postdoc position in foundations of quantum mechanics / quantum information theory at the University of Gdańsk, Poland with starting date 1st January 2018.

The position will be financed under the project “Quantum correlations – from few to many particles” founded by the Polish National Science Center under BEETHOVEN programme.

Scope of research for the project include:

The Fermilab Scientific Computing Division (SCD) is seeking graduating PhDs in the fields of Physics and/or Quantum Computing for multiple postdoctoral positions in its newly-established Quantum Information Science (QIS) initiative. The Fermilab effort will emphasize quantum algorithm development and applications for high-energy physics, as well as co-design and planning for integrated applications with hybrid quantum/classical systems. Current areas of interest include quantum algorithms and implementations for machine learning and partial differential equations. These projects involve collaborations with other Department of Energy labs and academic institutions, as well as with industry. The candidates will also have the opportunity to work on related algorithm development and applications utilizing classical computing.
The appointment will be for three years with the possibility of renewal subject to continuation of the project funding and performance.

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member in the field of experimental circuit quantum electrodynamics (CQED) based emulation of open quantum system dynamics, quantum information and quantum emulation. You will apply expertise in design, fabrication, characterization and control of CQED systems in collaboration with theory teams to realize platforms for direct quantum emulation of open quantum system dynamics. This position is in the Quantum Coherent Device Physics group, Condensed Matter Section, of the Physics Division.

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member in the field of high performance computing (HPC) simulation of open quantum system dynamics, quantum information and quantum emulation. You will apply your background and knowledge in HPC, numerical simulation of quantum systems and interest in working with experimental teams to realize platforms for quantum emulation. This position is in the Quantum Coherent Device Physics group, Condensed Matter Section, of the Physics Division.
