Quantum Error Correction / Fault
« group at Fraunhofer IIS, part of the »Machine Intelligence« department at our Nuremberg
site, is looking for motivated students!
Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds from computer science,
engineering and physics. Since 2019 our group has delved into cutting
-
edge topics within the realm of quantum
computing, including quantum machine learning, machine learning for qua
ntum compilation, error correction, and
quantum
as a joint project with the
»Chair for Quantum Theory«
at Friedrich
-
Alexander University Erlangen
Nürnberg, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael J. Hartmann.
Quantum Error Correction (QEC)
is a fast
-
evolving field aimed at achieving large
-
scale
Fault
Computing (FTQC)
. It focuses on encoding fragile quantum states to detect and correct errors before they affect the
information. Current methods have high overhead, making them impractical in the near term.
Thus, developing
alternative and more efficient approaches is essential.
You are interested in quantum error correction and would like to further develop your skills? Then have a
look at our offer!
What you will do
•
You will conduct cutting
-
edge research on quantum error correction and fault
-
tolerant quantum computing, guided
by an experienced researcher in the field
•
You will develop and implement techniques to reduce the overhead of quantum error correction
.
•
Utilize tools from machine learning and reinforcement learning.
•
You will perform experiments to test the developed
approaches
-
first in simulation, later eventually on actual state
-
of
-
the
-
art quantum hardware
•
You will write down your findings to constitute your master’s thesis, if the results permit potentially followed up by
a publication
What you bring to the table
•
You are currently studying physics, computer science, mathematics or a related field
•

•
in Python programming, including quantum computing libraries like Qiskit
•
You are interested in machine learning, mathematical optimization, or similar tools
•
You are comfortable communicating in English.
•
You are able to attend in
-
person meetings at out site in Nuremberg when necessary, with the option for remote
work as well.
