Quantiki

I have an open postdoctoral position in my group at the University of Chicago in the general areas of theoretical quantum condensed matter, quantum optics and quantum information. Topics of interest include dynamics, control, topology and correlations in driven dissipative quantum systems, with a focus on superconducting circuits (circuit QED). More information on the interests of the group can be found at http://clerkgroup.uchicago.edu.

We invite applications for research associate or postdoctoral associate positions in theoretical Quantum Information Science in the Physics Department of Virginia Tech. The focus of these positions will be on quantum simulation of quantum chemistry and other quantum algorithms and on quantum control, with an emphasis on near-term superconducting qubit devices. There will also be an opportunity to test these theoretical results on cloud quantum processors (Virginia Tech is in IBM’s Q Hub, which provides access to 20+ qubit devices).

Postdoc position in the group of Prof. Artur Izmaylov (University of Toronto, Canada) is available in the area of developing Quantum Computing algorithms for simulating Quantum Chemistry and Quantum Dynamics of molecular systems. Current research interests in the group include improving the Variational Quantum Eigensolver approach in various directions: 1) efficient unitary parametrization, 2) continuous non-linear optimization, and 3) projective measurement optimization (see arXiv for publication examples).

Postdoc positions in Huh Group at SKKU (Suwon, South Korea) are available for Quantum Computational Chemistry and Quantum Optics.
The knowledge of chemistry is not required, but the experience of quantum optics and numerical simulations are needed for the research position.

The possible theoretical research topics are:

1. Continuous Variable Quantum simulation of molecular systems
2. Developing Qudit-based Quantum algorithms for quantum chemistry (electronic and vibrational structure)
3. Classical simulation of quantum optics

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Professor Xuedong Hu's theory group working on solid state quantum computing at University at Buffalo. The nominal starting time is January 2020, although earlier starting time may be possible. Current research interests within the group include dynamics, entanglement, decoherence, and communication of multi-qubit systems in solid state nanostructures. Interested applicants please apply online at http://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/17311.

The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS, http://quics.umd.edu) is seeking exceptional candidates for the QuICS Hartree Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Information and Computer Science.

This PhD scholarship in Quantum Information & Control is under the supervision of Daniel Burgarth at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. It covers the national/international tuition fees as well as support for travel and research costs, and provides an annual stipend of 27,596 AUD. The group at Macquarie hosts a range of leading researchers working in experimental and theoretical Quantum Information, including Dominic Berry, Gavin Brennen, Daniel Burgarth, Alexei Gilchrist, Danny Terno, Jason Twamley, and Thomas Volz.

Applications are invited for the above post based in the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will carry out experimental research and technological development of quantum sensors.

The specific research focus is the development of optically pumped magnetometers (based on cesium atomic vapor) and their applications including medical applications. The project is funded by the UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensing and Timing.

We offer two four-year PhD positioions in Quantum InformatioTheory. The grant is run by dr hab. Marcin Wieśniak and is titled "Complex Entagled states: production and analysis". The research plan includes:
-studyinng toric codes in higher dimension
-work towards an optical demonstration of measurement-based quantum computation and analysis of effects of various physical errors
-studyning new self-testing Bell inequalities
