quantum chemistry

Equal1 has built a spin-qubit quantum processor, and we are now developing the algorithms and application workflows that will demonstrate and define future use cases for next generation devices.

We are seeking a highly accomplished Quantum Algorithms Developer to join our Quantum Algorithms team, contributing to the research and development of innovative algorithms that fully leverage the capabilities of Equal1 quantum computers for our customers.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a fully-funded interdisciplinary PhD position between quantum computing, condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry, starting in either spring or fall 2026, at Université de Montréal (UdeM), in the vibrant city of Montréal in Québec, Canada!

Supervisors: Prof Michel Côté (Physics), Prof Matthias Ernzerhof (Chemistry) and Prof Hlér Kristjánsson (Computer Science) at the University of Montréal and Mila – Québec AI Institute

Collaboration with Dr Simon Verret, quantum developer at Université de Sherbrooke

The Prasad Research Group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary is seeking motivated graduate students to work in the areas of computational chemistry, quantum computing, and machine learning. The selected applicants will conduct research under the direct supervision of Dr. Viki Kumar Prasad with available projects focusing on leveraging advanced computational methods to solve complex problems in reaction discovery, molecular modeling, and quantum simulations.

The Quantum for Life Center is looking for a PhD student interested in taking part in the development for quantum algorithms for quantum chemical systems. The PhD student would be employed at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Copenhagen supervised by Professor Matthias Christandl with co-supervision by Professor Markus Reiher from ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The project would involve the development of new quantum algorithms as well as the theoretical and numerical analysis on concrete example molecules.

Centre for Quantum Engineering, Research and Education offers a postdoc position. The candidate should have research experience in atomic and molecular physics/quantum chemistry or/and quantum computing/quantum algorithms. The goal of the researcher will be to develop and test programs to carry out atomic and molecular physics/ quantum chemistry calculations in the quantum computing framework.

We offer 2-year Postdoc position (f/m/d) in Quantum Computing for Quantum Chemistry, in BMBF QuantumFutur Junior Research group, hosted by the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Dresden and Görlitz, Germany, oofers Fully funded 3-year PhD Student (f/m/d) in Quantum Computing for Ground and Excited State Electronic Structure Calculations.
