quantum simulation

Join Our Group – Postdoctoral Position Available

We are an experimental research group at the University of Milan, Italy, led by Prof. Woojin Kwon, dedicated to exploring quantum phenomena in ultracold atomic systems of fermionic Lithium-6 gases. Our research seeks to deepen the understanding of many-body quantum physics through precision experiments. Supported by the ERC Starting Grant, our current focus is on fermionic superfluid gases, with particular interest in quantum vortices and related quantum transport phenomena.

We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join the Theoretical Quantum Technology group at RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich on quantum simulation with atoms and molecules.

Our group has funding for post-doc funding for 2026-2027 from the projects “Nanophotonic-based Quantum Simulation and sensing” from Fundación BBVA and national projects from Alejandro González Tudela.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a fully-funded 4-year PhD position in tensor network simulations of strongly correlated quantum many body systems that parallel similar efforts with ultracold gases quantum simulators. The candidate is expected to have MSc in physics (at the time of enrollment) plus strong numerical and analytical skills. The emphasis is on developing new tensor network algorithms for simulations of quantum many body systems.

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

We are seeking a highly motivated student with a Master's Degree in Physics, Quantum Engineering, Quantum Information Science (or related fields) to join the Quantum Information and Matter Group at Saarland University headed by Prof. Peter P. Orth. Our group is part of the recently established Quantum Technology Center (QuTe) at Saarland University—a dynamic, interdisciplinary research hub uniting expertise in computer science, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, and physics. Through our close partnership with the Helmholtz Forschungszentrum Jülich, we offer unique opportunities for joint projects, networking, and access to cutting-edge HPC and quantum computing resources. The successful candidate will conduct research at the interface of quantum information science and physics.

Specific research directions include: Quantum algorithms for simulating quantum field theories, interacting many-body systems, and combinatorial optimization. The implementation and end-to-end resource cost estimations of these algorithms on current and near-term early fault-tolerant quantum hardware. Development and application of quantum error mitigation and quantum error correction techniques. Join us to shape the future of quantum!
