PhD

Project Description

The focus of the PhD project will be the development of quantum algorithms with the aim of near-term implementation on NISQ machines. The project will primarily involve the theoretical analysis of quantum algorithms and their implementations, but it could also involve the study of structural features of quantum information theory relevant to the NISQ regime (such as quantum entanglement and other resources).

Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) is a unique English-speaking international graduate only research university, located just outside of Moscow. Established in collaboration with M.I.T., Skoltech integrates the best Russian scientific traditions with twenty-first century entrepreneurship and innovation.

Photonic quantum networks would enable quantum computing, guaranteed-secure communications and enhanced sensing capabilities, running at high bandwidths in ambient conditions

Title: Postdoctoral and PhD positions are available at QIT@KAIST, Korea.

Postdoctoral and PhD positions are available in the group of Quantum Information Theory at KAIST. The successful candidates will work as part of the research group led by Joonwoo Bae, in topics of fundamental aspects of quantum information theory and their applications to communication, metrology, and computation. The topics include quantum protocols, entanglement theory, quantum channels, etc.

QuTiP, the Quantum Toolbox in Python, is looking for students interested in taking part to summer projects as code developers. A number of summer projects are available in the framework of Google Summer of Code 2019. QuTiP is participating as an affiliated project of the NumFOCUS foundation.

Google Summer of Code will support a selected number of students over 3 months in the summer to perform a programming project.

Available projects:

The Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information Theory research group led by Prof. Caslav Brukner at the University of Vienna and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI-Vienna) in Vienna is offering a PhD position to a highly motivated and well-qualified student to work in the field of quantum foundations and quantum information theory.

PhD Fellowships in Quantum Science and Technology—Skoltech

Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) is a unique English-speaking international graduate only research university, located just outside of Moscow. Established in collaboration with M.I.T., Skoltech integrates and modernizes the best Russian scientific traditions and offers a host of courses related to quantum science and technology.

PhD Fellowships are now being offered to work in Skoltech’s Deep Quantum Labs – lead by Prof Jacob Biamonte.

Project Description
Any application that aims to harness the power of quantum effects will inevitably be plagued by noise due to its surroundings. Generally, this leads to complex dynamics with memory effects, known as non-Markovian dynamics. With the increase of miniaturisation and read-out frequencies, the influence of such effects will become even more prominent in the future. In this project, the successful applicant will investigate the genuinely quantum nature of non-Markovian dynamics.
