The Department of Mathematics of the University of Bologna (Italy) has an opening for a PhD Scholarship on the project "A mathematical-physics approach to improve energy efficiency in classical and quantum machine learning".
Postdoc and PhD positions in theoretical physics:
Machine Learning for Quantum Technologies
The ‘Theory of Superconducting Quantum Circuits’ research group led by Alexandre Blais specializes in quantum computing and quantum optics in circuit QED, a leading quantum computer architecture. The group is looking for highly motivated candidates at all levels (graduate students, postdocs and research scientists) with expertise in the theory of superconducting quantum circuits, circuit QED, quantum error correction, microwave quantum optics, variational quantum algorithms, or machine learning.
Examples of possible projects include:
The NanoQuCo CAM Synergy Grant on New Emerging Scientific Fields (https://www.nanoquco.es) is offering positions for excellent postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to work on the development of quantum technologies, such as quantum computers, sensors and simulators, based on nanophotonic devices.
Talented PhD Students are sought to join the group of A/Prof
Alexei Gilchrist at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, to
work on projects within theoretical quantum information, and in
particular on the characterisation of resourcefulness of quantum
measurements and in quantum causal discovery with noisy quantum
measurements.
Making progress on practical applications of quantum computing will require close cooperation of talent from Quantum Information Theory, Computer Science, Theoretical Physics, Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.
Do you have an excellent background in any one of these fields?
Are you interested in learning even more about the others, while working on interdisciplinary projects?
Are you motivated by working closely and interactively with colleagues and senior experts from different areas?
We are seeking highly motivated PhD students to join our research group in Theoretical Quantum Physics. Candidates are expected to have either excellent analytical skills, ideally with a background in fermionic quantum systems and reduced density matrices, or a strong expertise in numerical methods used in quantum chemistry. Mathematical Physicists are encouraged to apply as well. Our projects are concerned with the interface of Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Many-Body Physics.
Competitive applications through the Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme are invited. Research areas of interest are quantum walks and quantum games. To discuss further prior to applying, email michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie
Successful candidates will work in a team of theorists and experimentalists on fundamental properties of quantum systems, such as quantum coherence and entanglement, and their applications in quantum technologies, such as quantum metrology, sensing, communication, and computation.
In the framework of the agreement signed the International School for Advanced Studies
(SISSA), the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, and Technology Innovation Institute
– Sole Proprietorship L.L.C, we announces a selection based on academic qualifications and an
interview for the conferment of three PhD fellowships on Physics and
algorithms for Quantum Technology starting from the academic year 2021/22.
