About the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT)

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries in computing, communications, and sensing.
CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore. The Centre also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment.

Job Description

The research fellow will build a comprehensive package of analytical and numerical tools to model the basic quantum processes at play in a bosonic quantum computer. The processes encompass native quantum gates, amplification, measurements, environment engineering, error-correction. Using advanced methods of quantum optics and stochastic thermodynamics, she/he will establish fundamental quantum bounds and fluctuation theorems, i.e. quantitative relations between energy dissipation and irreversibility, on average and at the single trajectory level.

Job Requirements

  • PhD in theoretical quantum physics, quantum thermodynamics, quantum computing, with a focus on realistic models. Experience in superconducting qubits and bosonic codes will be a strong plus.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Capacity to work in multidisciplinary teams and at multiple levels of description.
  • Proven track record of published research and presentations in relevant fields.
  • Creativity, autonomy and ability to think out of the box.
