quantum algorithms

Are you a mathematician? Or a computer scientist or quantum physics? Would you like to work on creating new quantum algorithms? Knowledge on quantum mechanics is not necessary! Instead, we will build on group theory and discrete mathematics. Quantum algorithms implement mathematical transforms using quantum bits over certain groups. This is like designing an algorithm for parallel computing.

A PhD position (100% TVL-E13) in quantum computing is available at the University of Augsburg (Germany) in the group of Prof. Jakob Kottmann.

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.

Applications are invited for competitive (Hardiman) scholarships for PhD research at the University of Galway (Ireland). While the deadline is February 10, prospective applicants should get in touch well in advance of this date, ideally by the end of January. Email michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie for initial discussions, topics of interest include Quantum Walks, Quantum Games and Quantum Algorithms generally.

The post of Research Associate (post-doctoral) is to conduct research on the theory of quantum algorithms within the interdisciplinary project Distributed Quantum Computing & Applications funded by the UK EPSRC. The work concerns the mathematical development and rigorous complexity analysis of quantum algorithms for the early fault-tolerance regime, where quantum processing units only feature a limited number of logical qubits allowing to run small size digital schemes.

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions at the Centre for Quantum Computer Science, University of Latvia (https://www.quantum.lu.lv), lead by prof. Andris Ambainis. The Centre is among the strongest European research groups in quantum algorithms and currently consists of 18 researchers (including postdocs and graduate students).

Have you ever wanted to take part in the development of top photonic quantum technologies which will change our future? Are you eager to work side by side and learn from with the best quantum scientists, space agencies and high-tech companies? Do you want to boost your career in academia or business R&D in Europe and beyond? If your answer is “yes”, you are highly creative and hold a PhD in physics, computer science or mathematics or you will graduate in the next few months, then join our multi-national Quantum Technologies Research Group led by Prof. Magdalena Stobińska at the University of Warsaw. We have now 3 open positions which we plan to fill as soon as possible.

Your Job:

You will work in an interdisciplinary project team on quantum enhanced machine learning methods. This includes:
the extension, development and analysis of new quantum machine learning algorithms for current and near-future quantum computers

implementation and testing of algorithmic concepts with real data using QML software libraries such as Pennylane
evaluating recent technological and algorithmic developments for current quantum computers and those available in the near future
leading contributions to technical reports, scientific articles and policy papers
the co-supervision of theses

Your Profile:

PhD in physics, computer science, mathematics or comparable fields
Research experience in the area of quantum algorithms (ideally quantum machine learning)
Proven organizational and communication skills
Ability to work independently in interdisciplinary teams
Good written and spoken English language skills
Ideally good German language skills, both written and spoken
Ideally experience in software development
