Quantiki

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.

Background: This postdoctoral researcher will join the newly established group of Inamori FP Associate Professor Joshua Foo at the Institute for Advanced Study, Kyushu University. The research will focus on developing experimental proposals to probe the interplay of quantum mechanics and spacetime physics in low-energy systems such as atomic clocks, mechanical resonators, and photonic interferometers. Relevant directions for exploration include quantum extensions of relativistic principles, foundations of relativistic quantum mechanics, and tabletop tests of weak field quantum gravity.

We invite applications for a Ph.D. position on the topic of quantum simulation of gauge theories at the Technical University of Munich.

We look for an ambitious candidate, who will work on quantum simulation of gauge theories, interface with classical Monte Carlo simulations, connection to effective field theories and non-equilibrium physics and related topics.

The position will be associated with the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (https://www.mcqst.de) and is to be filled as soon as possible.

The coherence time is a key metric for evaluating the performance of a quantum bit. We have recently proposed a new type of qubit that stores information in the mechanical displacement of a carbon nanotube and leverages its coupling to an electronic two-level system to induce sufficiently strong anharmonicity, enabling its manipulation and readout.
