Dear colleagues,
The Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison invites applications for a Ph.D. position at the intersection of quantum computing and programming languages. Given the rapid experimental progress and growing public interest in the practical realization of quantum computers, this is a unique opportunity to join a research community working to bridge theory and practice.
My group and the broader quantum computing group at UW–Madison share an interest in working with students to build the emerging software stack for quantum computation. Successful Ph.D. applicants should bring extensive experience in at least one of the following areas and be ready to pick up the others:
- Programming languages, compiler design, and formal methods
- Quantum algorithms, complexity theory, and information theory
- Quantum computer architecture, devices, and error correction
To learn more about the Ph.D. program and how to apply, please see the department website. Students interested in this topic should apply under the Programming Languages category. The application deadline is December 15, 2025.
Best regards,
Charles Yuan\
