As a successful candidate, you will perform collaborative research towards the realization of quantum computing technologies in the context of a diverse set of internationally funded projects including, for example, the EU Quantum Technology Flagship, project OpenSuperQ, and the FET-Open project.
Your main goal will be to push forward the development of quantum computing systems with 50 to 100 qubits and beyond. You will either realize noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) algorithms for applications in quantum chemistry, material science and optimization problems. Or you will pursue the development of fault-tolerant quantum computation by implementing error correction. Your project will be embedded in the Swiss Quantum Science and Technology Network QSIT with more than 30 partners across all of Switzerland.
