Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a scientific, extreme scale Data Laboratory in the US, New York State, Long Island. We support the data and computational needs of on-site facilities such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS II), the Center for Functional Nano Materials and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program. In addition, we host the largest data center for the ATLAS experiment at CERN, and provide online and offline data services for the Japanese Belle II experiment.

A three-year PhD studentship (comprising stipend and fees) is available to international students to work with Alessandro Ferraro and Mauro Paternostro at the Quantum Technology group, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen's University Belfast.

The project will focus on the use of machine learning techniques for quantum information processing, with particular emphasis on quantum state and process engineering in photonics quantum networks.
