PhD Student - Quantum Information Theory & Experiment at the IT:U in Austria
Next-generation quantum computers must handle tens to hundreds of qubits/qudits, pushing into regimes where current methods for certifying multipartite, high-dimensional quantum resources no longer scale. Key challenges include the lack of scalable benchmarks and theoretical figures of merit that remain well-behaved in large, high-dimensional systems, the difficulty of maintaining stable calibrations during extensive data acquisition, and the need to harness these systems for practical applications such as quantum key distribution and human imaging with high‑energy photons.
We are an interdisciplinary team (see Quantum Information and Quantum Technologies | IT:U ) spanning experimental quantum physics, theoretical quantum physics, medical applications, and computing. We seek highly motivated PhD students who will pursue a defined project while contributing to the group’s shared goals.
