Junior Researcher Permanent Position in Theory of Quantum Physics and Quantum Information

The Quantum Information and Device Theory group of Charles Tahan at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) and the Quantum Information and Many-Body Physics group of Brian Swingle at the University of Maryland (UMD) are collaborating to explore the possible quantum advantage offered by near-term quantum systems from quantum computers with dozens or hundreds of qubits to analog quantum systems of similar size to tensor-network inspired machine learning.

We are seeking for a postdoc in the filed of theoretical quantum computation.

The position will be implemented within the group of Michał Oszmaniec in Center for Theoretical Physics PAS in Warsaw. The group is founded form the project "Quantum computers of the near future: challenges, optimal of implementations and applications" (https://nisq.eu/) awarded by Foundation for Polish Science.

Depending on the qualifications and competences of the candidates, we propose the following research topics:

Position Description:

The quantum computing group at CSI/BNL invites applications for a research associate position in theoretical quantum information science, with a start date of Summer/Fall of 2020.
The successful candidate will work closely with Layla Hormozi and other members of the group on topics related to error correcting codes and topological phases of matter. The term of employment for this position will be for two years contingent upon satisfactory performance and availability of funds by the end of the first year.

Position Requirements:

The NISQ project ("Near-term quantum computers") is looking for one junior postdoc (limited time after obtaining PhD) to work on using statistical physics to characterize the computational power and possible practical applications of quantum computing devices.

NISQ is a collaboration between four groups based in Warsaw, Kraków and Gliwice in Poland. The position is at Physics Department of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland.

Postdoc positions in quantum algorithms and/or quantum machine learning with NISQ devices

The Faculty of Sciences at H.I.T. –Holon Institute of Technology (Israel) invites applications for postdoctoral positions in mathematical and theoretical physics funded by the Israel Science Foundation. The successful candidate will be involved in the projects on

☐ quantum chaos theory in many-body systems, led by Dr. Boris Gutkin;
☐ random matrix theory and quantum chaos, led by Prof. Eugene Kanzieper.

Applications are invited for the above post based in the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will carry out experimental research and technological development of quantum sensors.

The specific research focus is the development of optically pumped magnetometers (based on cesium atomic vapor) and their applications including medical applications. The project is funded by the EU/EPSRC QuantERA project: Continuously Monitored Quantum Sensors: Smart Tools and Applications.
