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:

Argonne National Laboratory seeks candidates for multiple postdoctoral openings in quantum computing and networking. We are particularly interested in candidates in one of the following areas: (i) Development or optimization of quantum compilers, algorithms, or circuits (ii) Development of quantum network protocols and use of FPGAs, or (iii) Simulation of open quantum systems, noise characterization, and quantum error correction. Please apply as soon as possible at https://bit.ly/3lYwDOu.

We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher at Toulouse Mathematics Institute (France) within the ANR project QTraj. The position is for two years with a starting date in 2022. Candidates interested in the following subjects are encouraged to apply: quantum trajectories, quantum measurements, random quantum states, large deviation principle for processes, non-commutative semigroup analysis, non-commutative functional inequalities.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Department of Physics is currently seeking to recruit candidates to the position of

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER, PHYSICS

The position starts earliest on November 1, 2021 or as agreed, for a fixed-term of 2 years.

The Hybrid Quantum Technologies group at University of Jyväskylä (Finland) seeks a talented postdoctoral researcher in the field of optomechanics and/or low temperature physics to join the group. AMO or other quantum information background can also be suitable.

The project

The research team “Quantum Chaos in Many-Body Systems”, led by Dario Rosa, is looking for postdoctoral fellows willing to join the group.

The research interests of the group cover several topics, whose common theme is to study how quantum chaos (or its absence) affects the dynamical properties of quantum many-body systems. Among them, the group is currently focusing mostly on the following themes:

Late-time quantum chaos and BGS conjecture
Early-time quantum chaos and operator growth
Quantum batteries
Many-body localization
Quantum many-body scars
