PhD

The development and deployment of quantum technologies has become one of the paramount tasks for science in the 21st century. Quantum systems are characterized by their coherence. In order to preserve coherence, the systems need to be extremely well isolated from their environment and cooled down to extremely low temperatures.

The Quantum Information group (Department of Computer Science, Paderborn University, Germany) in the Faculty for Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics is seeking a:

Research Associate (PhD student)

(pay scale E 13 TV-L, 100 percent. Information on this can be found in this link.)

The project aims to optimally allocate available quantum and classical resources a developer needs for a specific algorithm, by breaking larger circuits into smaller pieces that are distributed to different quantum processing units in parallel, with few quantum connectives between them, and then recombining the results.

Paderborn University is a high-performance and internationally oriented campus univer-sity with around 20,000 students. In interdisciplinary teams, we shape future-oriented research, innovative teaching and the active transfer of knowledge to society. As an im-portant research and cooperation partner, the university also shapes regional develop-ment strategies. We offer our more than 2,600 employees in research, teaching, technol-ogy and administration a lively, family-friendly and fair working environment with short decision-making processes and a wide range of opportunities.

Deadline: 30 June 2023 (or until the position is filled)

One fully funded PhD position to work with Prof Elham Kashefi in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh on a project titled “Quantum Computing”. The project is supported by Nomura International PLC, an external partner with a reputation for digital disruption, diversified expertise, and integrated processes.
