Quantiki

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Funding source: Proposed salary: Competitive, commensurate with experience (typically $60,000+)

Position Summary

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Quantum Foundations & Simulation, associated with the Q‑Ontic Initiative—an interdisciplinary project at the interface of quantum foundations, computational physics, and physics education.

QLAB is a newly established research center at the University of Warsaw, funded by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP) under the International Research Agenda (MAB) programme with European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG). Our mission is to develop scalable hybrid quantum-classical technologies for secure communication, efficient computing, and ultra-sensitive measurement and imaging systems.
We collaborate with leading international scientific partners (Sorbonne University, ETH Zurich, University of Vienna) and industry partners (PCSS, Google Poland, Orange Poland, IQM) to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world applications.

Epitaxial semiconductor quantum dots are among the best sources of quantum states of light. They deliver single photons and entangled photon pairs with high brightness and indistinguishability. We have recently established new methods for their coherent optical control and excitation with the goals of improving robustness and coherence. In the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project BRAIDS we are working towards the generation of time-bin entanglement via dark exciton states.

The Quantum Photonics Laboratory seeks a talented scientist to undertake research on the demonstration of an efficient interconnect between a quantum dot single photon source and a solid-state quantum memory. Significantly, the goal of the project is to achieve storage of large bandwidth photons in the telecom band into an on demand photonic quantum memory based on rare earth doped crystals.

The Niels Bohr Institute invites applicants for two PhD fellowships in Theoretical Quantum Optics and Quantum Information. The projects will be part of the theoretical quantum optics group and the Center for Hybrid quantum Networks (Hy-Q).

The starting date is (expected to be) 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. An earlier starting date may also be a possibility.

Our group at the John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science (https://jhc.sjtu.edu.cn), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, invites applications for PhD (open to non-Chinese citizens) and postdoctoral positions.

We seek candidates to pursue pioneering research at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information. Potential research directions include:

AI for the representation and characterization of complex quantum systems;
AI for quantum control and circuit compilation;
AI for quantum error correction.
