Quantiki

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.

A 2-year postdoc and a fully funded 4-year PhD-student position are available in the „Young Independent Researcher Group“ lead by Dr. Yelena Guryanova, Dr. Ämin Baumeler, and Dr. Costantino Budroni. This group is inter-institutional; it is affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, as well as with the Department of Physics, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Funded PhD project: Worldwide (International, UK and EU)
Value: Funding covers the cost of tuition fees as well as a maintenance grant of £12,000 per annum. Funding duration is 3 years. The successful candidate is also encouraged to take part in up to 250 hours per annum of teaching assistant activities, for which up to an additional £3,000 can be earned.
Number of awards: 1
Deadline: 22/02/2019

Supervised by Dr Earl Campbell (Department of Physics, Sheffield University, see https://earltcampbell.com/)
Co-supervised by Prof. Simon Benjamin (Oxford Materials, see QTechTheory.org)

Circuit compilers for near-term quantum computers

Applications are invited for open competition scholarships for Hardiman Scholarship funding for PhD program at the National University of Ireland, Galway. I am particularly interested in supervising students in Quantum Games, Quantum Walks, or other Quantum Algorithms. For initial enquiries, email michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie SOON (as preparing the application will take some days, and the deadline is soon).
