PhD

Your PhD project will be part of an interdisciplinary research project bridging theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.
In the course of this, you will work on

• extending established techniques for quantum circuit representation and manipulation (e.g. diagrammatic methods like ZX-calculus) towards description of quantum noise
• employ such extended methods for quantum circuit compilation, optimization and error mitigation
• collaborate with theoretical computer scientists on developing noise-aware quantum programming paradigms

Openings for PhD students for a newly formed group at the National University of Singapore (https://www.physics.nus.edu.sg/faculty/ernest-tan-ying-zhe/), on the topics of quantum information theory, quantum cryptography, and convex optimization applications in those areas
