Quantiki

I am looking for motivated scientists to join my group at the University of Augsburg, Germany.
You will work on the project: Universal quantum computer with Kitaev transmon qubits.

The Kitaev transmon qubit is a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor qubit fabricated by embedding an array of quantum dots with superconducting coupling (forming a Kitaev chain) in a transmon architecture. You will work on designing and optimizing new qubit gate schemes for control and manipulation of these qubits.

TCG CREST – The Chatterjee Group Centres for Research and Education in Science and Technology – aspires to be a world-leading research institute in the area of science and technology. The objectives of TCG CREST are to conduct fundamental and translational research at the frontiers of both science and technology, and also to impart high quality education to PhD scholars.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of York is seeking a talented new colleague to join our thriving Mathematical Physics and Quantum Information group. You will be engaging in high-level research combining mathematics and quantum technologies and have the capacity to obtain funding for your research, form interdisciplinary collaborations and engage with industry. You will be a dedicated and effective teacher of mathematics, able to teach a range of courses in applied mathematics and to supervise PhD and MSc projects.

Applications are invited for a PhD position in theoretical quantum information and computation, working with Shashank Virmani at Brunel University London Mathematics department, in the UK. Deadline 26 May.

It is currently anticipated that the PhD will be on the theme of classical simulation of quantum systems, but this may evolve during the project if the student so wishes.

Both UK and overseas applicants are welcome to apply, although funding may be more competitive for non UK citizens.
