Descrierea postului

Job Category: PH.D.Job Description:(QM) at (IMADA), University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for several 3-year PhD positions in quantum algorithms. The targeted starting date is 1 September 2025,or as soon as possible thereafter.Project description
This project will explore the algorithms, advantages, and applications of quantum computing with the aim of making it a practical computational tool in the near term. The project will focus on Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS), which is a specialized photonic quantum computing model with demonstrated experimental realizations and proven theoretical advantages. The project may involve several aspects, including mathematical theory, algorithm development, error correction, adaptation of GBS-based algorithms to other quantum computing platforms, and the development of practical use cases with real-world relevance. We seek candidates with a strong interest in working on these aspects or a subset thereof.The project will be jointly supervised by Professor Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen and Associate Professor Shan Shan at QM.Candidate Profile

• Required

• Candidates should have a strong foundation in mathematics. A MSc degree in mathematics or a related field with strong mathematical content must be obtained before the starting time.

• Other desirable skills (but not required):

• Background in quantum computing, particularly GBS, continuous-variable QC
• Experience with numerical simulation, statistical estimation, or probabilistic modeling.
• Programming proficiency (Python, Matlab or C++), especially for numerical experiments.
• Interest in connecting theory to experimental or real-world applications.
• Ability to work independently and communicate well in an international team.

Research environment
The PhD project will be carried out within the Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM). QM is located at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Faculty of Natural Sciences on the international campus of University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark. QM is established with the ambition to create a highly international and interdisciplinary group within a broad spectrum of mathematics with relations to quantum theory, covering both foundations as well as various applications such as quantum computing and quantum software. Odense is a fast-growing international community with affordable housing and living costs. For more information on the QM centre, please visit .Application deadline: 1 August 2025 at 23:59 hours local Danish time.
