Job Overview

Research Fellow, Quantum Communication Theory ,Centre for Quantum Technologies

Job Description

The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with Assoc. Prof. Marco Tomamichel in the intersection of information theory and quantum information, specifically on quantum communication theory and/or statistical approaches to quantum machine learning. Some sample topics include:

• statistical and information-theoretic approaches to quantum machine learning;
• finite sample size effects in classical and quantum learning;
• quantum networks and quantum internet;
• other related topics in quantum Shannon theory;

We are particularly looking for researchers with a strong track-record working on technical aspects of quantum Shannon theory, but strong candidates with proven expertise in other aspects of quantum information are also encouraged to apply.
