Quantiki

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on theoretical aspects related to quantum many-body physics. Research topics can include:

- non-equilibrium processes in synthetic quantum matter

- dynamical phases in light-matter systems

- fluctuations and correlations in open quantum systems

- application of advanced numerical methods (e.g. machine learning or tensor networks) to the dynamics of open and closed quantum systems

- quantum cellular automata and quantum enhanced neural network designs

Applications are invited for a tenure track position in Quantum Computing at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Hong Kong.

HKU is a leading research university and a highly international environment. As of 2020, it was ranked third in Asia and 22nd internationally by QS, and fourth in Asia and 35th internationally by THE.

RECRUITMENT OF PROFESSORS 2021 SESSION

We are recruiting an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) to work in the Marie Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) “Applications and Hardware for Photonic Quantum Information Processing (AppQInfo)”. The ITN will provide multidisciplinary training culminating in PhDs awarded by Imperial College London.

The Quantum Photonics Laboratory at Heriot-Watt University seeks a talented and motivated scientist to start a new line of research on quantum technology with stoichiometric rare-earth crystals for quantum memory applications. Significant goals include the characterization of the optical and spin properties of different crystals, optimization of their electronic and spin coherence, and the implementation of quantum memory protocols in both bulk crystals and waveguide structures.

We have two fully-funded PhD studentships available in the Ultrafast Quantum Optics group at Imperial College London.

The first is funded by the European Commission’s Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network (ITN) and the second is via the EPRSC and the Quantum Computing & Simulation Hub. Both research topics are centred around the experimental implementation of quantum simulators using interfering photons.

The Quantum Information and Communications thematic group of the National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taiwan is hiring one to two postdoctoral researchers to work on topics pertinent to quantum information and communications. The group is based at the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) at Tainan, Taiwan but maintains active international collaborations with prominent researchers from various institutions. The group is part of the National Center for Theoretical Sciences of Taiwan.

Quantum computers promise to deliver strong computational speedups, at least for a few relevant problems. One path towards building a quantum computer is to design a small quantum device and carefully scale it up, this is the so-called monolithic approach. An alternative path is to link small quantum devices via entanglement and create a distributed quantum computer. While this approach has the advantage of sidestepping the need to control very large quantum systems it brings challenges of its own such as the periodic distribution of entanglement.
