Quantiki

This PhD project will address quantum computation and information processing in realistic environments, in particular, in the NQIT Q:2020 machine. This device is being developed within the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme, and aims to consist of 400 qubits across 20 different traps with photonic interconnects. In this theoretical project, the student will abstract the main sources of error from the physics of local quantum operations, transmission and measurement of quantum states of ions and photons.

The Quantum and Complexity Science Initiative (QuSCI) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is currently seeking talented research fellows to interface ideas from quantum information theory and complexity science. Primary activities include the adaptation of complexity theoretic ideas to the quantum regime, and the development of quantum protocols to model, simulate and understand complex systems.

A fully funded (tuition and stipend) Ph.D. position is available to work with Matthew Leifer in the Computational and Data Sciences program at Chapman University. Chapman University is home to the Institute for Quantum Studies, which is one of the leading centers for research in the foundations of quantum theory.
