We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in quantum information theory to contribute to the theoretical side of the project “Exploring new physical laws by accurate quantum measurements in ultra-cold atom platforms” funded by JST CREST “Exploring Quantum Frontiers Through Quantum-Classical Interdisciplinary Fusion” (https://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/crest/en/research_area/area2023-1.html).
The successful candidate will work at the group led by Ryuji Takagi at the University of Tokyo and will aim to develop theoretical foundations of quantum error correcting codes and related quantum information processing tasks designed for high-dimensional qudit systems, such as the one realized by cold atoms in optical trap arrays. The successful candidate will also be welcome to work with other members of the project, including Tomoyuki Morimae (Kyoto), Yoshifumi Nakata (Kyoto), and Takaya Matsuura (RMIT), as well as experimental groups led by Yoshiro Takahashi (Kyoto) and Osamu Tajima (Kyoto).
