theory

Your PhD project will be part of an interdisciplinary research project bridging theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.
In the course of this, you will work on

• implementing efficient simulators for continuous and discrete variable systems with noise based on Gaussian/stabilizer decompositions
• quantum error mitigation and correction for continuous variable systems
• evaluating and rigorously define the computational power of continuous variable systems

École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), a leading engineering institution within the Université du Québec system, has established a new Chair in Quantum Algorithms to advance cutting-edge research in the field. This Chair forms a foundational element of a broader strategic initiative: the creation of a future Quantum Science and Engineering Institute at ÉTS. As part of this growing ecosystem, we invite outstanding candidates to join a dynamic research group focused on the theoretical and experimental advancement of quantum computing.

The University’s Department of Physics invites applications for a PhD studentship funded by the Royal Society and the University of Exeter to commence on 1st October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. For eligible students the studentship will cover Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend for 4 years full-time, or pro rata for part-time study.

A PhD position on the modeling of spin qubits is available at the laboratory of atomistic simulation of the CEA/Interdisciplinary research institute of Grenoble (IRIG).

The project, supervised by Dr. Yann-Michel Niquet, deals with the modeling of spin shuttling in silicon and germanium spin qubits using analytical and numerical techniques. The PhD is expected to start on september/october 2025.

The University of Exeter has a number of fully funded EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) Doctoral Landscape Award (EPSRC DLA) studentships for 2025/26 entry.

Students will be given sector-leading training and development with outstanding facilities and resources. The EPSRC studentships will be offered across the whole of EPSRC’s remit, with projects at the interface of disciplines and collaborations with users where appropriate. Studentships will be awarded to outstanding applicants, the distribution will be overseen by the University’s EPSRC Strategy Group in partnership with the Doctoral College.

Project title: Quantum technologies for energy and information storage (theory)

Supervisor: Dr. Charles Downing

We invite applications for a Research Fellow position in the general area of Theoretical Quantum Information.

You will be part of a team working on projects in quantum measurements and the characterisation of quantum devices. You will join the research group of A/Prof Alexei Gilchrist (6 PhD Students) and collaborate closely with Prof. Kavan Modi (Monash University). The position is jointly funded by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Engineered Quantum Systems and an ARC Discovery Project on quantum measurement resource theories.

I am happy to announce this opening for a 15-month postdoc at the University of Bologna on a project in collaboration with the Italian company Fincantieri (https://www.fincantieri.com/en) on numerical simulations of quantum algorithms for the Navier-Stokes equations.

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