The project
Future quantum computers will operate as distributed systems interconnected by quantum networks. In such systems, software layers must reason jointly about quantum computation and network-provided entanglement. However, current quantum software stacks largely abstract away the network, assuming ideal connectivity and ignoring dynamic network constraints.
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.
ÉTS has been steadily building a quantum computing research powerhouse centered around a new quantum institute in downtown Montreal. We would be interested in recruiting mid- to late-career, active (!) researchers in quantum computing algorithms/tensor networks for a prestigious Canada Impact+ Research Chair, to be held with a faculty appointment at École de technologie supérieure which is part of the University of Quebec system.
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.
Quantum computing is a widely developing paradigm that exploits the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems in various fields of science that are beyond the possibilities of classical computing infrastructures. Despite the increasing activity in both theoretical research and hardware implementations, reaching the state of useful quantum supremacy is still an open question.
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 QuanG2 doctoral programme is launching its 2026 PhD call, offering 14 fully funded fellowships in quantum sciences, quantum technologies, and related interdisciplinary topics. Candidates holding a master’s degree can apply to up to 5 topics among 34 available projects. Each fellowship lasts 3 years and includes a research budget of up to €10,000 for secondments, conferences, or equipment. Coordinated in Grenoble and supported by the European Commission under MSCA COFUND, QuanG2 provides an interdisciplinary and international research environment to kickstart your research career. Applications are open from 26 January to 16 March 2026 at phdquantumgrenoble.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

The IEEE International Conference on Quantum Software (IEEE QSW 2026) is the premier venue dedicated to establishing quantum software as a rigorous engineering and scientific discipline. QSW seeks to explore the methods, abstractions, languages, tools, systems, and theories that support the design, development, and evolution of quantum and hybrid quantum–classical software systems. While many venues emphasize physics or hardware advances, QSW offers a space for software-focused perspectives, which includes programming models, languages, compilers, runtimes, validation and verification techniques, system architectures, lifecycle methodologies, and reproducible software artifacts. The conference aims to help connect advances in quantum algorithms with practical and operational quantum systems. QSW encourages contributions from both academia and industry that provide technical rigor, state clear assumptions, and demonstrate relevance to quantum software development.
The Vigo Quantum Communication Center at the University of Vigo (Spain) invites applications for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in experimental quantum optics. You will work in the new quantum computing lab under the supervision of Professor Alexander Lvovsky (research group web page). The project is aimed at constructing a quantum optical neural network for combinatorial optimization.
As part of an interdisciplinary project team with researchers from bioinformatics you will work on quantum algorithms for drug discovery. Here, the focus lies on machine learning and optimization. Together with a dedicated partner from bioinformatics you will first survey pairs of drug discovery application problems and corresponding quantum algorithms, before you focus on promising candidates which are explored in more depth. In particular you will work on
