The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, building, training, and deploying machine learning models on Xanadu’s cutting-edge specialized quantum computing hardware. As part of our Quantum Machine Learning team, they will participate in multiple aspects of machine learning research and development targeted to near-term quantum devices. Other duties may include the training of traditional (non-quantum) machine learning models for comparison and benchmarking purposes.

Applications are welcome to cover three postdoc positions at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Vienna. The successful candidates will work for two years in quantum foundations and/or quantum information in the group led by Miguel Navascués at Vienna’s central 9th district. Some of the group’s current research directions are the characterization of global properties in complex quantum networks, the realizability of time-warping devices and the structure of condensed matter states, see the group’s website for details.

We are inviting applications for a two-year Postdoc position in the group of Prof. David Hunger at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany (www.phi.kit.edu/hunger.php). The group is exploring applications of fiber-based optical microcavities in the fields of solid state quantum optics, optical sensing, microscopy, spectroscopy, and optomechanics.

STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY, DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

We are searching for a talented and motivated PhD student who is interested in experimental quantum optics and quantum information with trapped ions. The research will focus on the investigation of trapped strontium Rydberg ions.

Trapped Rydberg ions are a novel system for quantum technologies. By laser light, the ions’ outermost electrons are excited to high-lying orbitals. Such Rydberg ions are million times bigger than ions in the ground state, and due to their size, they obtain very peculiar properties.
