We have reopened for applications to a theory postdoctoral position at the University of Sheffield working with Dr Earl\u00a0Campbell(https:\/\/earltcampbell.com\/<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0The applicant should have a research interest in developing new architectures for quantum computation using topological codes (e.g. surface and colour codes) and other LDPC codes (e.g. hypergraph and homological product codes).<\/p>\n

Topics of interest include:<\/p>\n

– Design of new LDPC and topological error correction codes.<\/p>\n

– Single shot error correction.<\/p>\n

– Code-switching and gauge fixing.<\/p>\n

– Fault-tolerant computation in QEC codes: including the study of transversal gates, lattice surgery and code deformation.<\/p>\n

– Decoder software and numerical simulation of thresholds and resource overheads.<\/p>\n

– The realistic implementation of QEC codes in distributed architectures.<\/p>\n

– Magic state distillation.<\/p>\n

\n

The candidate should have a PhD and research experience in quantum computing theory. Prior research experience in quantum error correction is desirable but not essential.<\/p>\n

\n

The position is part of the QCDA consortium (http:\/\/www.qcda.eu\/<\/a>) and interaction with other consortium partners will be encouraged.\u00a0\u00a0The consortium includes nodes in London (Browne), Paris (Leverrier & Tillich), Delft (Terhal) and Munich (K\u00f6nig).<\/p>\n

\n

Closing date:\u00a03rd July<\/span><\/p>\n

Provisional date for interviews:\u00a017th July<\/span><\/p>\n

Duration: Start as soon as possible with current funding until February 2021<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me directly at\u00a0e.campbell@sheffield.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
