The aim of the research project “Practical measurement-based quantum computing” is to explore project explores the feasibility and practicality of Measurement-Based Quantum Computing (MBQC), a paradigm distinct from the traditional circuit-based quantum computing model. We will identify its strengths for various applications whilst addressing MBQC's practical limitations .
The aim of the BMFTR research project “Q-Cyber” is to explore new approaches to networked multi-party quantum communication applications and to evaluate their practical feasibility and security. We will implement and investigate a range of advanced multipartite quantum communication protocols. We will develop suitable hardware solutions for the use of multipartite entangled quantum states as a fundamental resource in future quantum networks.
Each position is for an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of quantum communication, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. It aims to determine both the current capacity to preserve the quantum features of the transferred states and to investigate strategies, supported by machine learning techniques, to minimize the detrimental effects of the optical fiber transmission on entangled states. The principal investigator of the project is Prof.

Dr. Wenyuan Wang, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, is recruiting MSc and PhD students incoming Fall 2026, to be working on theoretical quantum communication or optical quantum information processing.
Potential topics:
A funded 4-year joint PhD between King’s College London and the National Physical Laboratory (London, UK) is available for methodological developments into quantum algorithms for realistic electronic structure.
The rapidly growing quantum information science and computing theory group at the University of Calgary is seeking outstanding applicants for PhD studies in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, the Department of Physics & Astronomy, and the Department of Computer Science.
Graduate student positions are fully funded through teaching assistantships and supervisor grants.
We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student to join a strong research team to work on quantum errorcorrection for cold atomic platforms, funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt. The topics range from abstract considerations to hardware-tailored approaches.
We are offering a PhD position at IFT Madrid, to work at the interface of quantum many-body physics, quantum computation, and high-energy physics.
The successful candidate will join the Quantum Matter and Information group at IFT and will be co-supervised by Pablo Sala de Torres-Solanot and Daniel González-Cuadra.
Due to administrative constraints, applications must be submitted as soon as possible in order to be considered eligible. The expected starting date is next spring.
The Department of Mathematics at King’s College London (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/mathematics) is looking for motivated candidates wishing to pursue a PhD in Quantum Cryptography under the supervision of Roger Colbeck (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/roger-colbeck). The aim of this field is to exploit the properties of quantum systems to enable provably secure communication.
