PhD

PhD and Postdoc positions (3 years) are available in the newly established Quantum Error Correction group led by Felix Huber at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.

We are looking for exceptional candidates with background in quantum information or mathematics, with an interest in theoretical or experimental quantum error correction, entanglement theory, optimization, invariant theory, and/or mathematical physics.

BASF SE offers a temporary PhD position from 01.01.2021 that aims at developing workflows for molecular quantum-chemistry applications on quantum computers. In the position, scientific work will be performed at the Ludwigshafen site. Your contract will be with BASF SE as the employer. Co-supervision will take place with the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

We are offering a postdoc (E13) and a PhD position (E13 3/4) to highly motivated and well-qualified researchers who intend to conduct research in near-term quantum computing and simulation. Possible topics include the following:

- Notions of quantum machine learning and near-term quantum computing

- Benchmarking and tomography

- Analog quantum simulation

- Computational complexity theory

The successful candidates will work as part of the research group led by Jens Eisert at the FU Berlin. For an overview of research activities, see

This position is embedded in the research project QUANTUS‐IV MAIUS, which is carried out by the QUANTUS collaboration of seven German Universities and Research Institutes. QUANTUS (“Quanten‐gase unter Schwerelosigkeit”) is funded by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and aims to investigate ultra‐cold quantum gases in microgravity.

Solid-state spins in an optical cavity

The ultimate goal is to create spin-spin entanglements at useful rates. A number of challenges have to be overcome. The materials processing must be improved in order to create optically-coherent NV centres in thin diamond-membranes. Quantum optics-based techniques must be used to quantify the properties of the photons: their purity and indistinguishability. Spin manipulation must be combined with the cavity setup. Techniques must be established to tune remote NV centres into resonance with each other. The project will offer experience in all these fields, along with possibilities to explore the application of the same cavity structure to other solid-state systems, for instance semiconductor quantum dots.
