A three-year PhD studentship (comprising stipend and fees) is available to international students to work with Alessandro Ferraro and Mauro Paternostro at the Quantum Technology group, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen's University Belfast.

The project will focus on the use of machine learning techniques for quantum information processing, with particular emphasis on quantum state and process engineering in photonics quantum networks.

Strong interactions with world-leading experimental groups active are expected during the lifetime of the project.

Candidates are expected to have obtained or be about to obtain a degree in physics, applied mathematics or computer science (provided they have a good knowledge of quantum theory). They are recommended to contact Mauro Paternostro at [email protected] prior to their application for further information and clarifications on the position.
