Quantiki

Currently we have open one Postdoctoral fellow position and two PhD positions.

A post-doctoral position is opened at the Institute for Nanosciences and Cryogenics (INAC) of the CEA Grenoble (France) for up to two years, on the theory and modeling of silicon-on-insulator quantum bits.

The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, building, training, and deploying machine learning models on Xanadu’s cutting-edge specialized quantum computing hardware. As part of our Quantum Machine Learning team, they will participate in multiple aspects of machine learning research and development targeted to near-term quantum devices. Other duties may include the training of traditional (non-quantum) machine learning models for comparison and benchmarking purposes.

We are inviting applications for a two-year Postdoc position in the group of Prof. David Hunger at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany (www.phi.kit.edu/hunger.php). The group is exploring applications of fiber-based optical microcavities in the fields of solid state quantum optics, optical sensing, microscopy, spectroscopy, and optomechanics.

STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY, DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

We are searching for a talented and motivated PhD student who is interested in experimental quantum optics and quantum information with trapped ions. The research will focus on the investigation of trapped strontium Rydberg ions.

Trapped Rydberg ions are a novel system for quantum technologies. By laser light, the ions’ outermost electrons are excited to high-lying orbitals. Such Rydberg ions are million times bigger than ions in the ground state, and due to their size, they obtain very peculiar properties.

Candidates are sought for a PhD position in Theoretical Physics at l'Institut de Nanosciences de Paris (Sorbonne université) to be supervised by Dr Alex Chin. The project involves the simulation and theory of open quantum systems, with a focus on using new Tensor Network methods as a way to access the non-perturbative, real-time physics of excitons interacting with molecular vibrations in organic semiconductors and supramolecular nanostructures (see pdf at URL above).
