The 871st WE-Heraeus Seminar, titled Input, Output, Insight: Inference from Black Boxes – Contextuality, Bell Inequalities, and Beyond, will take place at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany, between 14.10.2026 and 17.10.2026.
SoftQuantus is building next-generation quantum infrastructure in Europe, with a long-term objective of developing scalable trapped-ion quantum computing systems focused on stability, reproducibility, and operational reliability.
We are seeking a PhD-level experimental physicist to join as a technical cofounder and lead the hardware development effort.
Role Overview
The Founding Quantum Hardware Scientist will:
Lead the design and construction of a trapped-ion experimental platform
Architect scalable ion trap systems (e.g., Yb⁺ or Ca⁺)
The School of Computational Sciences at Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) invites applicants for the positions at the level of postdoctoral research fellow in Computational Sciences.
The researcher will work on mathematical modeling and security analysis of CV-QKD protocols. They will develop new protocols and improve current security proofs, aiming at better system performance and suitable computational requirement, summarizing the protocol and security proof in a comprehensive way in view of standardization and certification. They will closely work with experimental partners providing theoretical support to the experimental activity.
The Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in quantum information theory (2-year position).
Applications are invited from motivated candidates with track-record in any area of quantum information theory, including mathematical and foundational aspects, quantum communication theory, quantum cryptography, quantum metrology, quantum computing and machine learning.
The successful candidate will join the Bari Quantum Theory group [ https://www.quantumbari.com ]
As part of new initiatives in the area of quantum computing, including an MSc program in quantum information science, we are looking to hire one or more researchers who can extend the Computer Science department’s profile in quantum computing (broadly conceived). The department is part of the University of Copenhagen Quantum Hub together with Department of Chemistry, Niels Bohr Institute, Department of Biology, and Department of Mathematical Sciences.
Description
Nu Quantum is looking to fund a 3-6 month long internship starting during summer 2021. The internships are full-time, paid, and based in Cambridge where possible.
Ideal candidates are either well into their PhDs, or recently finished. The projects will be carried out at the Nu Quantum headquarters and optics lab in Cambridge, collaboratively with the team which is now 15-strong.
We are currently hiring for five roles at Nu Quantum. These are :
- QRNG Experimental Scientist
- QRNG Theoretical Scientist
- Quantum Optics Scientist
- Quantum Detector Scientist
- Project Manager
Our roles are based in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Uncompromisable information security can be only achieved by relying on unshakeable scientific principles in mathematics or physics. It is therefore directly connected to progress in fundamental research in both of these area and requires constant progress to advance.
However, to translate these results into useable technology and to maintain everyday security within the current technology, is a just as important goal to achieve.
The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics (SITP) invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position in quantum information science. Areas of interest include core quantum information subjects such as algorithms, communication and fault-tolerance, in addition to connections with other branches of physics.
A curriculum vitae, publication list, statement of research interests and three letters of recommendation are required. Applications should be uploaded to academicjobsonline.org.
