Postdoc and PhD positions in theoretical physics:
Machine Learning for Quantum Technologies
Our group has pioneered reinforcement learning approaches to enable a machine to
discover from scratch improved quantum error correction strategies, quantum feedback,
and quantum circuits, and the goal is to take these approaches to a new level and tackle
advanced applications. Collaborations with leading experimental groups worldwide are an important component of our work.
We are looking for excellent theoretical scientists to take up postdoctoral or PhD positions
in the context of the Munich Quantum Valley research network. The successful candidates
will perform research in the domain of machine learning techniques applied to quantum
computing (and other quantum technologies), e.g. discovering new quantum feedback and quantum error correction strategies. Prior experience in machine learning is not required but would be considered a plus. Experience in the theoretical description of quantum systems is required.
Postdoc positions are initially for a duration of 2 years, with possibility for extension by 1
year, and PhD positions are for 3 years, with a possible extension by 1 year. Postdoc
positions are 100% E13 salary level, PhD positions are 75% E13 salary level (TV-L).
Please submit your CV, including publication list (for postdoc candidates), to
Gesine.Murphy@mpl.mpg.de, cc Florian.Marquardt@mpl.mpg.de by 15th August 2022.
Postdoc candidates please have 2 letters of reference sent to the same address as well.
