Research Fellow In Quantum Verification And Property Testing

Description:

The Quantum Information Science group at the University of Warwick is seeking a Research Fellow to undertake research in quantum verification and property testing. The position will focus on developing novel schemes for the property testing of quantum channels and their exploitation in verifying quantum computation. Emphasis will be placed on identifying the complexity of these schemes and extending them to the error-corrected regime.

This is a fixed-term contract for 2 years, with the possibility of extension, available in connection with the UK QCi3 Hub.

About You:

• The candidate must have a strong background in theoretical quantum computation and information.
• The candidate must have (or be expected to obtain shortly) a PhD in the relevant field (theoretical physics, computer science, or mathematics).
• Applicants near submission or who have recently submitted their PhD but not yet had it conferred will be appointed as Research Assistant until the PhD is awarded, after which the role will be upgraded to Research Fellow.

About The Department:
The Quantum Information Science (QIS) group at the Department of Physics specializes in the theoretical aspects of quantum information science, such as quantum verification, quantum testing, quantum algorithms, and quantum sensing. The group participates in several national and international research consortia and includes six PhD students and four Post-Doctoral Research Fellows.

The Department of Physics is a vibrant academic environment with over 200 academic, research, technical, and professional services staff. It maintains an excellent record in both teaching and research, committed to diversity and inclusion.
