Available to home and outstanding international applicants.

Quantum technologies are advancing rapidly, raising a central question for the field: Can quantum computers solve physically relevant problems better than classical computers? Understanding this requires overcoming theoretical challenges at the intersection of quantum information, many-body physics, and complexity theory.

This PhD project aims to explore the capabilities and limitations of quantum computation and develop quantum algorithms for tackling quantum problems.

The Department of Physics at Maynooth University in Co. Kildare, Ireland is pleased to announce a Ph.D. Scholarship available for a suitably qualified and successful Applicant in the subject of condensed matter theory and quantum information science. This is a 4 year position funded by Taighde Éireann–Research Ireland, with an expected start date of September 1st, 2026. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Joshuah Heath.

Postdoc position in theoretical quantum information science is available at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, in Warsaw, Poland. Successful candidate will work in the team of Prof Alexander Streltsov on one of the following topics: Quantum catalysis, Quantum resource theories, Quantum communication and quantum computation.
