PhD position on quantum error correction for photonics. Job description
As part of a new European Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network focused on quantum error correction and fault tolerance (QuBriC), we are seeking a PhD researcher who will work on quantum error correction for photonic, optical and microwave, quantum computing architectures within the group of Prof. Terhal at Delft University of Technology and QuTech. The goal is to further develop fault-tolerant architectures for photonic platforms based on fusion-based and measurement-based computation, addressing photon loss and other hardware-specific errors. Some of the work will involve extending tools and concepts of circuit-based quantum error correction to fusion-based computation, using ZX calculus. The aim is to design, numerically simulate and decode (small) quantum error correction protocols which are near-term or immediately feasible on photonic hardware. The training network enables and financially supports several few-months secondments of the PhD student at other involved parties in the network such as the company QuiX (Enschede) and UCL (London). Other trainings and collaborations in the area of quantum error correction are available via consortium events and workshops. The PhD candidate will be embedded in the Terhal group, located at the Department of Applied Math, Faculty of EEMCS, Delft University of Technology. The PhD candidate is encouraged to discuss and collaborate with (experimental) researchers at QuTech, as well as the Delft office of the UK company Riverlane. Requirements
Working at TU Delft means contributing to solutions that really make a difference. For over 180 years, we have been training engineers who make an impact worldwide in companies, government bodies, or as entrepreneurs. Our alumni turn knowledge into concrete solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow. These challenges are changing rapidly. That is why we focus on themes such as energy, climate, digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart mobility every day. Our education and research are directly aligned with what society needs now and in the future. At TU Delft, our people make the difference. With their knowledge and curiosity, our staff provide a high-quality education and conduct pioneering research that extends beyond the campus. You will have the opportunity to take the initiative, work with others, and grow as a professional. Working at TU Delft means join an international community of professionals and students. Together, we create knowledge, innovations, and solutions that help move the world forward. QuTech QuTech is a mission-driven research institute of TU Delft. Together we are working on a radical new technology with world-changing potential. We are developing scalable prototypes of a quantum computer and a secure quantum internet. We believe quantum technology will be a game changer in many social and economic sectors - including health, agriculture, climate, and security. To achieve our ambitious goals, we bring scientists, engineers, and industry together in an inspiring environment, with plenty of room for ambition, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Have a look at our video and get a glimpse of QuTech. Conditions of employment
Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1,5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2,5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from €3204 - €4051 gross per month, from the first year to the fourth year based on a fulltime contract (38 hours), plus 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%. As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. The TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff and a mentor. The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related and research skills. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged. Will you need to relocate to the Netherlands for this job? TU Delft is committed to make your move as smooth as possible! The HR unit, Coming to Delft Service , offers information on their website to help you prepare your relocation. In addition, Coming to Delft Service organises events to help you settle in the Netherlands, and expand your (social) network in Delft. A Dual Career Programme is available, to support your accompanying partner with their job search in the Netherlands. Additional information
