Oxford University’s Quantum Technology Theory Group led by Simon Benjamin is recruiting a postdoc in “Quantum Theory for Early Quantum Computers”.

We’re looking for an exceptionally talented and motivated theorist to join the team. The successful applicant will perform research in one or more of the following topics: quantum algorithms, compilers, architectures, and error tolerance protocols. Close interaction is anticipated with experimental groups in Oxford, across the UK, and internationally.

This project concerns the implementation of complex quantum networks, i.e. quantum systems organized in a complex structure depicted as networks, and their exploitation for quantum simulations and optimized quantum information
technologies.
The experimental implementation is based on multimode quantum process based on parametric interaction and time/frequency modes of femtosecond lasers (near-infrared and telecom wavelengths). Networks structures are encoded in the quantum correlations of continuous variables of the involved fields.

Currently, there are several PhD positions open at our research center. We are accepting applications until 31/05/2019 with PhD starting in September 2019. If interested, as the first step, please get in contact (as soon as possible) with a potential PhD advisor and follow his/her instructions. Below are potential PhD topics, however, we are open also for other, too.
