Postdoctoral Researcher Quantum Error Correction and Compilation

South HollandHybrid39 hours/week<3months

This assignment focuses on advancing research at the intersection of quantum technologies, GPU acceleration, and high-performance computing. The goal is to enable the next generation of tightly integrated quantum-classical computing systems, connecting hardware advances with scalable software solutions for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

What you do

  • Work with industrial partners to develop and benchmark low-latency GPU integration with quantum-control hardware.
  • Design and optimize GPU-accelerated decoding algorithms for quantum error correction, supporting the development of scalable fault-tolerant quantum computers.
  • Contribute to hardware-aware quantum software and high-performance computing solutions for next-generation quantum-classical systems.
  • Develop and evaluate compilation methods for emerging quantum architectures, with a focus on mapping, routing, and hardware-aware optimization for scalable and fault-tolerant quantum systems.
  • Investigate methods for improving the reliability and scalability of quantum computations, spanning fault-tolerant execution, hardware-software co-design, and advanced techniques for quantum error correction.

What they ask

  • A PhD in computer science, physics, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field at the start of the position.
  • Experience with GPU programming and high-performance computing, gained through research or industry projects. This may include areas such as CUDA, parallel computing, performance optimization, or systems software engineering.
  • Motivation to tackle challenging research problems and enjoyment of working in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, combined with a proactive and curious mindset.
  • Eagerness to contribute to the development of practical technologies for large-scale quantum computing and to collaborate with both academic and industrial partners.
  • Experience with quantum computing is considered a plus, but extensive expertise in quantum error correction is not required.

Practical

  • Opportunity to relocate to the country of assignment, with relocation support and a Dual Career Program for the accompanying partner.
  • Participation in a vitality program for a healthy and energetic work environment.
