PhD

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on theoretical aspects related to quantum many-body physics. The research will focus in particular on:

- the investigation of non-equilibrium processes in synthetic quantum matter

- the development of protocols for novel engine cycles using non-equilibrium phase transitions

- the application of advanced numerical methods (e.g. tensor networks) to model quantum many-body engines

How should one design the ideal programming language for current and future quantum computers? What are appropriate concepts, abstractions, and paradigms? Is there a fundamental difference between programming small and large quantum computers? How can type systems and formal methods help ensure that quantum software works correctly by construction - even when current quantum hardware is noisy? How can quantum programs be debugged when quantum bits collapse upon inspection? And how can all this help algorithm designers analyze innovative new quantum algorithms?

If the above sounds exciting to you, then you should consider applying!

Several PhD positions are available at Heriot-Watt University on different aspects related to quantum technology with spin qubits:

We offer a 3.5-years PhD position for a motivated researcher to join our work on adaptive quantum sensing. Our goal is to develop an automatic quantum sensor, based on a single spin in diamond, enhanced by machine learning algorithms. The sensor will automatically optimize its settings to operate in conditions of maximum sensitivity, minimizing the estimation times.

We welcome applications for a postdoctoral or/and a doctoral position in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the ‘Johannes Gutenberg’ University of Mainz to work in the ‘NEUQUAM’ research group led by Jun. Prof. Dr. J. Marino (https://sites.google.com/view/nequantumuniv)

The appointed candidate will be a highly-motivated, qualified and independent researcher, keen to join our research team.
