The qFLOW project (Helmholtz Quantum Use Challenge) is recruiting postdoctoral researchers to work on quantum and hybrid quantum–classical algorithms for PDE- and ODE-based models arising in fluid dynamics and environmental systems.
We are hiring an experimental research assistant within the Quantum Light and Matter group at Durham, working on quantum sensing with ultracold molecules in optical tweezer arrays. This 3-year position is funded by the "UK-Canada quantum for science research collaborations" scheme and there will be opportunities to travel to Canada as part of a researcher exchange program with the University of Waterloo.
International applicants are encouraged to apply and will be eligible for the Durham University Visa Reimbursement Scheme.
The Quantum Information Science Group (https://squis.snu.ac.kr/) at Seoul National University (SNU) invites applications for Research Fellow (postdoctoral or senior) and/or Research Professor (assistant or associate level) position(s) in theoretical quantum computing, as part of the NextQuantum Innovation Research Center (https://nextquantum.snu.ac.kr/), funded by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT. The appointment is expected to start on 1 June 2026; the start date and salary are negotiable.
We are looking for a postdoc to work with the Quantum and Optical Technology Group under the supervision of Professor Alexander Lvovsky on implementing artificial neural networks using optics rather than electronics. Optical neural networks would enable us to enhance both the power efficiency and speed of neural networks by several orders of magnitude.
The group of Dario Poletti at the Singapore University of Technology and Design and at the Centre for Quantum Technologies has an opening for Research Fellow for 2 years (with possible extension).
The main research direction is many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium. Particular emphasis will be given to numerical simulations, e.g. tensor networks and/or neural quantum states, and potential collaboration with experimental groups. We are interested in quantum chaos, quantum thermodynamics, quantum transport, entanglement transitions etc.
The Vigo Quantum Communication Center at the University of Vigo (Spain) invites applications for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in experimental quantum optics.

Quantum technologies are advancing rapidly, raising a central question for the field: Can quantum computers solve physically relevant problems better than classical computers? Understanding this requires overcoming theoretical challenges at the intersection of quantum information, many-body physics, and complexity theory.
This PhD project aims to explore the capabilities and limitations of quantum computation and develop quantum algorithms for tackling quantum problems.
The aim of the BMFTR research project “Q-Cyber” is to explore new approaches to networked multi-party quantum communication applications and to evaluate their practical feasibility and security. We will implement and investigate a range of advanced multipartite quantum communication protocols. We will develop suitable hardware solutions for the use of multipartite entangled quantum states as a fundamental resource in future quantum networks.
