quantum networks

The project

Quantum networks require complex software infrastructures to manage entanglement distribution, synchronization, classical signaling, and multi-node coordination. Thus, it remains a critical need for software-engineered models that can be simulated, validated, and compared at scale. This PhD focuses on quantum network software engineering supporting realistic evaluation of quantum Internet architectures.

What You’ll do

CNRS Junior Professor Chair in Quantum Science at the intersection between Physics and Computer Science.

The position will be in the group of Prof. Robert Raußendorf and under the leadership of Martin Plávala. You will be working on using machine learning to construct verifiable witnesses of entanglement and quantum nonlocality. The goal of the project is to construct such witnesses in high-dimensional cases where other methods fail due to a lack of computational resources. The applications will include witnessing entanglement of quantum states, witnessing high-dimensional steering, and witnessing nonlocality in Bell scenarios and quantum networks.

For our group at the University of Siegen (Germany) we are looking for a motivated postdoc in the field of quantum information theory, foundations of quantum theory, and quantum optics. The group is led by five PIs (Otfried Gühne, Matthias Kleinmann, Chau Nguyen, Stefan Nimmrichter and Ramona Wolf) and the research topics include:

The aim of the role is to realise functional quantum memories using the electronic and nuclear spins of tin-vacancy (SnV) colour centres in nanofabricated diamond chips, using quantum optical control from single confined spins using both optical and microwave fields. The research topics will include the realisation of efficient photon emission, high-fidelity coherent spin control using optical and microwave control, demonstration of spin-photon quantum entanglement, and quantum information transfer and storage in nuclear spin registers.

Three PhD positions are available on the topic of quantum network applications and quantum network systems in the group of Prof. Dr. Stephanie Wehner at Delft University of Technology (QuTech and Quantum Computer Science)
