QuSoft and The University of Amsterdam invite you to apply for a PhD position in Quantum Algorithms. You will conduct research in the theory and design of quantum algorithms for optimization problems, both continuous and discrete, including NP optimization. This line of research includes both long-term and NISQ algorithmic theory and design, with a special focus on applications to use cases motivated by industry problems. For more information, and to apply, see: https://www.uva.nl/en/content/vacancies/2020/12/20-783-phd-candidate-in-...

The position is available from April 2021 at OIST Graduate University, Japan, for a minimum of one year and up to three.
On November 27, the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain, made public the list of the granted projects among those submitted to the call for the 2020 CDTI Missions Program, within the framework of the Spanish program of Business Leadership in R&D. The detailed list of the granted and rejected projects can be consulted on the CDTI’s Science and Innovation Missions page.
The SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING at CORNELL UNIVERSITY, Ithaca, New York, invites applications for multiple tenure-track Faculty positions in all areas of electrical and computer engineering with special interest in multidisciplinary areas related to quantum engineering and sciences, quantum computing, and quantum information and communications. See our website, https://www.ece.cornell.edu/ece, for additional information on our programs.
Reversible computation has a growing number of promising application areas such as low power design, coding/decoding, debugging, testing and verification, database recovery, discrete event simulation, reversible algorithms, reversible specification formalisms, reversible programming languages, process algebras, and the modelling of biochemical systems. Furthermore, reversible logic provides a basis for quantum computation with its applications, for example, in cryptography and in the development of highly efficient algorithms.
The Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw, Poland (qot.uw.edu.pl) seeks to appoint group leaders who will develop ambitious and innovative research effort exploring quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, in optical and optically controlled system, with the long-term aim of their practical utilisation. The appointments will include start-up packages with fully funded junior research positions and access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure.
We invite you to attend a remote-only Episode XXIII of Warsaw Quantum Computing Group meetings. On 14.12 at 18:00 CET Tomasz Stopa from IBM will give a talk: "How to get most of NISQ computers with Qiskit".
If you are interested, please register (no later than 13.12, EOD)
Abstract from Tomasz:
Current Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers have multiple limitations. These are caused by gates and readout errors, topology limitation and the need to express more advanced gates with natively implemented ones. Additionally, limited relaxation and coherence times require high optimization of the circuits. However using NISQ computers with awareness and additional software help can give good results. The lecture will present Qiskit capabilities on how this can be done.
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) at the University of Plymouth, UK, is seeking to recruit a Research Assistant with expertise in software development and quantum computing, and familiarity with the field of computer music, to work on the “Quantum Computing and Music” project.
The objective of the project is to initiate the development of an open source (GitHub based) programming toolbox designed for sound and music with quantum computing, accompanied with tutorials and demonstrations.
Scope of work:
We are looking for a co-investigator in a H2020 EURAMET EMPIR 18SIB05 ROCIT „Robust Optical Clocks for International Timescales” project. The goal of our group is to improve the robustness of optical clocks so that they can run unattended for long periods.
