Quantiki

As part of an interdisciplinary project team with researchers from bioinformatics you will work on quantum algorithms for drug discovery. Here, the focus lies on machine learning and optimization. Together with a dedicated partner from bioinformatics you will first survey pairs of drug discovery application problems and corresponding quantum algorithms, before you focus on promising candidates which are explored in more depth. In particular you will work on

Quantum technologies are advancing rapidly, raising a central question for the field: Can quantum computers solve physically relevant problems better than classical computers? Understanding this requires overcoming theoretical challenges at the intersection of quantum information, many-body physics, and complexity theory.

This PhD project aims to explore the capabilities and limitations of quantum computation and develop quantum algorithms for tackling quantum problems.

The Department of Physics at Maynooth University in Co. Kildare, Ireland is pleased to announce a Ph.D. Scholarship available for a suitably qualified and successful Applicant in the subject of condensed matter theory and quantum information science. This is a 4 year position funded by Taighde Éireann–Research Ireland, with an expected start date of September 1st, 2026. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Joshuah Heath.

The aim of the research project “Practical measurement-based quantum computing” is to explore project explores the feasibility and practicality of Measurement-Based Quantum Computing (MBQC), a paradigm distinct from the traditional circuit-based quantum computing model. We will identify its strengths for various applications whilst addressing MBQC's practical limitations .

The aim of the BMFTR research project “Q-Cyber” is to explore new approaches to networked multi-party quantum communication applications and to evaluate their practical feasibility and security. We will implement and investigate a range of advanced multipartite quantum communication protocols. We will develop suitable hardware solutions for the use of multipartite entangled quantum states as a fundamental resource in future quantum networks.
