Job Description

A postdoctoral research fellow position on the topic of quantum error correction is available in the group of Associate Professor Hui Khoon Ng at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore.

The project focus is on theoretical research into implementing quantum error correction ideas and other noise-suppression techniques in quantum hardware (e.g., neutral-atoms platform), carried out in close collaboration with industry partners.

The group of HK Ng works on bridging the gap between quantum error correction and hardware realities. It is housed in the CQT campus within the National University of Singapore. The research fellow can expect to help with the mentoring of students in the group; teaching opportunities are also often available.

Qualifications

• The candidate should have a strong interest in quantum computing, a strong track record in carrying out independent research, and a willingness to work closely with experimental colleagues.
• A PhD in a quantum science field is required.
• Proven research experience in the subject of quantum error correction and related topics would be a strong plus point.
• Numerical simulation skills are expected.

More Information

The Research Fellow position can commence as early as Apr 2026; the actual start date is negotiable. The position is for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a third year.
