A Postdoctoral / Research Engineer position is open at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), within the Multimode Quantum Optics group, to work on the implementation of quantum computing protocols using non-Gaussian states of light. This position is part of a technology transfer project whose results are intended to be valorized in the long term through our future spin-off.

The Polyquantique research group led by Nicolás Quesada specializes in quantum photonics and quantum information. The group is looking for highly motivated candidates at the Postdoctoral and PhD level with interest and expertise in theoretical quantum optics.

We are a theory group with a significant computational component that collaborates closely with experimental groups and partners in government and industry. We write open source code and do reproducible science.

Post/s of Part-Time or Full-Time Research Support Officer II or III or IV
QMLA – “Quantum Machine Learning for Astronomy” Xjenza R&I Thematic Programme - Digital Technologies Programme.
The full-time post is for a period until 30th October 2027. The candidate should preferably be available to start working with immediate effect. The post carries the following initial remuneration per annum / per hour, inclusive of any cost-of-living adjustments:
RSO II - €30,327/ €14.58;
RSO III - €36,692 / €17.64;
RSO IV - €47,092 / €22.64.

Modern robotic systems increasingly rely on learning-based perception, prediction, and decision making modules that must operate under strict constraints on latency, compute, energy, and reliability. In many robotic platforms (mobile robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, ...), inference must execute on embedded or edge hardware while remaining robust to sensor noise, distribution shifts, and safety-critical failures.

The Trapped Ion Quantum Technology Group at Stockholm University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to our research in open-system quantum simulations with trapped Rydberg ions. This position is part of the ERC Synergy project "Open 2D Quantum Simulator (OPEN-2QS)".

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Quantum Foundations & Simulation, associated with the Q‑Ontic Initiative—an interdisciplinary project at the interface of quantum foundations, computational physics, and physics education.

The position focuses on the development of interactive, web‑based simulations that explore alternative representational and interpretive frameworks in quantum mechanics. Research areas include conceptual analysis, visualization, and comparative study of empirically equivalent quantum models. A prototype model can be explored at qsf‑v1.

Epitaxial semiconductor quantum dots are among the best sources of quantum states of light. They deliver single photons and entangled photon pairs with high brightness and indistinguishability. We have recently established new methods for their coherent optical control and excitation with the goals of improving robustness and coherence. In the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project BRAIDS we are working towards the generation of time-bin entanglement via dark exciton states.

Our group at the John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science (https://jhc.sjtu.edu.cn), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, invites applications for PhD (open to non-Chinese citizens) and postdoctoral positions.

We seek candidates to pursue pioneering research at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information. Potential research directions include:

AI for the representation and characterization of complex quantum systems;
AI for quantum control and circuit compilation;
AI for quantum error correction.

Background: This postdoctoral researcher will join the newly established group of Inamori FP Associate Professor Joshua Foo at the Institute for Advanced Study, Kyushu University. The research will focus on developing experimental proposals to probe the interplay of quantum mechanics and spacetime physics in low-energy systems such as atomic clocks, mechanical resonators, and photonic interferometers. Relevant directions for exploration include quantum extensions of relativistic principles, foundations of relativistic quantum mechanics, and tabletop tests of weak field quantum gravity.
