Job Description

A short-term 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 numerical simulations of relevance to quantum error correction, including understanding the performance of error correction protocols on noisy hardware devices. Stabilizer simulations will be the key tool, and we will expand on the recent work within the group on simulating general noise within the stabilizer formalism.

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.

Qualifications

• The candidate should have a strong track record in carrying out independent research in quantum error correction and numerical simulations.
• A PhD in a quantum science field is required.
• Prior experience with stabilizer simulations is a must.
