PostDoc, PhD and Master positions available!

The collaborative SFB project BeyondC aims to develop and exploit new methods and tools to describe, characterize, validate, and manipulate quantum systems in order to achieve the experimental regime of quantum systems for quantum superiority, the ability of quantum computing devices to solve problems that their classical counterparts cannot. 

Our consortium spans the various areas of quantum information science that are required for this task and will apply its theoretical and experimental expertise towards the sub-goals of (i) precise control of up to 20 qubits for quantum computing, (ii) the realization of a quantum simulator using up to 50 qubits, (iii) the operation of quantum secure data processing, (iv) the derivation of new algorithms suitable for medium-size quantum processors, (v) the development and implementation of quantum machine learning protocols, (vi) the realization of hybrid quantum-classical and hybrid quantum-quantum systems, (vii) and the verification and validation methods for medium-sized quantum processors.

Advertised positions are listed in the open positions section below.
