Professorship (W2, tenure track to W3) in Quantum Information Theory (m/f/x; Reference no.: W2810)
Institution: Saarland University, Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science - Saarbrücken Campus
About the Position:
Context : In the recent past, it has been established beyond doubt that by leveraging the unique quantum properties of sub-atomic particles, information can yield unparalleled advantages in diverse disciplines of information processing including computing, communication, cryptography and control. In fact, protocols such as quantum key distribution accomplish tasks hitherto believed impossible. Notably, these protocols have been demonstrated in practice and research is underway to scale them up. We are shaping up towards emergence of a new age in information processing.
Applications are invited from outstanding and highly motivated PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with a strong background in quantum information theory, entanglement theory, or quantum many-body theory.
The positions are related to the ERC Consolidator Grant-funded research programme BeyondDFT. The Schilling group is expected to relocate to the University of Geneva on 1 September 2026.
The Quantum Information Science Group (https://squis.snu.ac.kr/) at Seoul National University (SNU) invites applications for Research Fellow (postdoctoral or senior) and/or Research Professor (assistant or associate level) position(s) in theoretical quantum computing, as part of the NextQuantum Innovation Research Center (https://nextquantum.snu.ac.kr/), funded by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT. The appointment is expected to start on 1 June 2026; the start date and salary are negotiable.

Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the conference 90 Years of the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen Paradox: Foundations and Applications to be held from April 7-10, 2026, at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany.
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.
TCG Centres for Research and Education in Science and Technology (TCG CREST) aspires to be a world-leading research institute in the area of science and technology.
