** Project: Practical self-correcting quantum memories

The project seeks to develop a quantum computer device where the nuclear spin of a donor atom in silicon is integrated with a gate-defined quantum dot. This type of device will represent the unit cell of a scalable quantum processor, which combines the exceptional coherence and gate fidelity of nuclear spins with the addressability and manufacturability of semiconductor quantum dots.

The Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University Tübingen is looking to fill a PhD Position (f/m/d, 50% of an E13 TV-L position). The position will be offered for three years and will have a topic in the field of quantum metrology or quantum information theory. The position will be based at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University Tübingen, Germany, in the group of Prof. Daniel Braun.

Our research group at Aalto University is hiring 3 postdocs + 3 doctoral students to work on distributed quantum algorithms in projects funded by an ERC Advanced Grant and a QuantERA grant. Application deadline: July 31, 2026. Start date: October 2026–October 2027 (negotiable). Apply now: Aalto University → Open Positions!

In recent years, impressive advances in the quantum control of ultracold atoms and atomic ions have been achieved which enabled measurements with an unprecedented precision. Similarly precise experiments on molecules open up a range of new scientific perspectives owing to their rich level structure combining rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. These include tests of new physical concepts, the implementation of new frequency standards, accurate evaluations of physical theories such as quantum electrodynamics and precise determinations of fundamental constants. They also lay the foundations for applications of molecules in the realm of modern quantum science such as quantum information and quantum sensing.  

We are recruiting a Doctoral student in Quantum Machine Learning for the Life Sciences. The project focuses on developing and testing quantum machine‑learning algorithms on real quantum computers, with applications to real datasets from life science and healthcare (in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard).
You will join the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) and work in a vibrant, international research environment with access to state‑of‑the‑art quantum hardware.

The ARC Training Centre for Future Leaders in Quantum Computing (FLiQC), in partnership with Sydney Quantum Academy (SQA) and participating universities, is pleased to announce a number of industry ready PhD Scholarships available to suitably qualified and successful applicants.

These scholarships are open to domestic and international students who will enrol full time in a PhD program at one of the participating universities: The University of Sydney, UNSW Sydney, University of Technology Sydney, or Macquarie University.
