quantum algorithms

We invite applications for a PhD position on quantum computing, advised by Dominik Hangleiter and co-advised by Renato Renner. What awaits you in our group in Zuerich is a welcoming, open and interactive research environment. Our research is collaborative, interdisciplinary and embedded in the international quantum computing community.

The Quantum Algorithms Division at the Quantum Research Centre (QRC) of the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), in Abu Dhabi, UAE, is seeking highly talented and motivated post-doctoral or senior researchers to join the Quantum Enhanced Algorithms team, led by Dr. Thais de Lima Silva. 

Quantum computers will play a crucial role in the development and optimization of battery materials in the future. In this project, you will develop innovative quantum algorithms for the accurate calculation of materials properties. You will combine methods from quantum informatics and solid-state physics to describe the complex electronic and ionic processes in battery materials. New quantum algorithms will be tested for addressing topical questions in materials development for next-generation batteries.

In this project, you will benefit from the combined expertise in quantum algorithms and materials simulations at the institutes PGI-12 and IET-3. Thereby, Forschungszentrum Jülich will provide you with an ideal environment for your project with unique possibilities to access the latest hardware of quantum computers—directly on campus!

PhD Scholarship: Quantum Optimisation and Quantum Signal Processing with Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre and the University of Western Australia (UWA) (Future Leaders in Quantum Computing Program).

This PhD Scholarship offers a generous stipend of A$41,753 per year (2025 rate) for up to 4 years. Open to domestic and international students.

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.

The "Global Talent Ireland" is seeking applications in categories (a) "Rising Star" (5-15 years post PhD) or (b) "Research Leader" (16+ years post PhD). Here at the University of Galway we would welcome and support such an application in Quantum Computing.

We are looking for a Post-doctoral Researcher to work in the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) hosted by the University of Gdańsk. The position is offered in the Quantum Devices in Computer Science Group led by Michał Studziński.

For a joint Mitacs-sponsored research project between IonQ Canada and the University of Toronto, we are looking for postdoctoral fellows with demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas: quantum computing, distributed computing, quantum algorithms, and/or quantum simulations. The project will involve the development of quantum algorithms for distributed quantum computers and the development of methods to simulate these algorithms.

The research group of Prof. Wenchao Ge (https://sites.google.com/view/wenchaoge) in the Department of Physics at the University of Rhode Island invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in theoretical quantum information science and engineering (QISE). The successful candidate will conduct theoretical research in hybrid quantum-classical algorithms on near-term quantum devices supported by National Science Foundations through the NSF ExpandQISE program (https://new.nsf.gov/news/quantum-science-engineering-expands-across-nati...). Topics of interest include but are not limited to, quantum entanglement and spin squeezing, quantum approximate optimization algorithms, and benchmarking protocols with different quantum platforms, such as neutral atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting qubits. The successful candidate will also collaborate with Prof. Ilya Safro at the University of Delaware on designing, analyzing, and implementing quantum algorithms.
