We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student to join a strong research team to work on quantum errorcorrection for cold atomic platforms, funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt. The topics range from abstract considerations to hardware-tailored approaches.

I am looking for highly motivated MSc and PhD students to join my research group at Université de Sherbrooke starting in Fall 2026 or earlier. These are fully funded positions. Our research focuses on:

1. Developing fundamental theories and practical tools to enable useful quantum computing, including noise characterization and mitigation, quantum error correction, and efficient quantum–classical interfaces.
2. Advancing the development and analysis of quantum algorithms.
3. Understanding the computational complexity of quantum many-body problems.
4. Exploring the interplay between AI and quantum computing, including both quantum-enhanced AI and AI-enhanced quantum computing.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral associate position in theoretical quantum information science in the Physics Department of Virginia Tech.

The successful candidate will work in areas related to quantum information theory, quantum error correction, and machine learning. The position will start in fall 2026 and will be for two years, with a possible 1-year extension pending availability of funding.

MOTH is inviting applications for a full-time staff researcher in quantum error correction. This position will support MOTH’s long-term vision for early fault-tolerant and fault-tolerant quantum computers, helping to create algorithms that will bring quantum advantages to the Media and Entertainment industries (including games, graphics and music).
