quantum information

Have you ever wanted to take part in the development of top photonic quantum technologies which will change our future? Are you eager to work side by side and learn from with the best quantum scientists, space agencies and high-tech companies? Do you want to boost your career in academia or business R&D in Europe and beyond? If your answer is “yes”, you are highly creative and hold a PhD in physics, computer science or mathematics or you will graduate in the next few months, then join our multi-national Quantum Technologies Research Group led by Prof. Magdalena Stobińska at the University of Warsaw. We have now 3 open positions which we plan to fill as soon as possible.

The Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy and Ruhr University Bochum are looking for an outstanding PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher, as part of the CASA cluster of excellence. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct theoretical research at the intersection of quantum information and cryptography.

Quantum- and physics-inspired optimization has attracted lots of attention in recent years, as fundamentally novel paradigms towards solving large-scale combinatorial problems. The underlying principle is to encode a given problem into the natural dynamics of physical systems, and to achieve potentially stronger convergence and higher precision through careful external control. Physics-inspired optimization algorithms, such as coherent Ising machines and simulated bifurcation, mimic the dynamical properties of physical systems on conventional hardware – with the goal to inherit certain features, such as natural convergence towards low-energetic states. At Huawei, we investigate a wide range of topics related to quantum- and physics-inspired optimization, from the most fundamental mathematical structures, deep understanding of physical models, to high-performance implementation of novel optimization architectures.

We have openings for talented early-career scientists with strong track record in experimental and theoretical quantum physics and are ready to take up a leadership role in the group to spearhead new research initiatives. As part of the team, there will be ample opportunity to explore your own ideas and participate in grant-writing processes.

Potential projects for experimentalist include: bosonic superconducting quantum systems, quantum error correction, materials for quantum computing, implementation of quantum algorithms on qudits, and many more!

The Polyquantique research group led by Nicolás Quesada specializes in quantum photonics and quantum information. The group is looking for highly motivated candidates at all levels (graduate students, postdocs) with expertise or interest in quantum photonics, quantum information, quantum optics, quantum metrology, quantum error correction, topological photonics or machine learning.

About the group

Successful candidates will work in a team of theorists and experimentalists on fundamental properties of quantum systems, such as quantum coherence and entanglement, and their applications in quantum technologies, such as quantum metrology, sensing, communication, and computation.
