Quantiki

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could use a sensor as small as a single electron? We are offering a PhD project on a unique instrument, that uses a single spin in diamond as a tiny quantum sensor, to investigate condensed matter physics problems related to magnetism and superconductivity.

Balint Koczor’s Quantum Information Theory group in the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford is looking for a highly motivated and exceptionally talented quantum theorist to lead new projects in the broad context of achieving practical quantum advantage using early quantum computers (noisy and early fault tolerant). The length of the position is fixed term funded by a research grant from the by EPSRC project SEEQA until 31 March 2025 and UKRI FLF Project Theory to Enable Practical Quantum Advantage from 1 April 2025 – 30 June 2027.

We will have openings for a PhD and Postdoc positions at the Quantum Algorithmics group at the University of Augsburg. The anticipated starting date is spring 2025.

We are looking for candidates who:

- Enjoy working creatively with numerical methods and heuristic exploration
- Motivation to work on scientific code and software development
- Strong interest in physical concepts and their utilization
- Master's degree/PhD in: Computer Science Physics, Chemistry, or Math (including interdisciplinary programs)

The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials is a joint PhD program between the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany, Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St Andrews, Scotland. By working together, we create a highly attractive overall package of PhD level research on quantum materials. We seek to recruit several PhD students in 2025 for a variety of exciting research projects in the fields of condensed matter physics and solid-state chemistry.
