Research Fellow (PhD Candidate) in Quantum Information, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway

July 14, 2008

Research Fellow (PhD Candidate) in Quantum Information, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway.

A 3-year position as Research Fellow is available in Quantum Information under the supervision of Matthew G. Parker, http://www.ii.uib.no/~matthew, with the Selmer Centre, Department of Informatics, on a project called “Hybrid Quantum Computers”.The position is financed by The Research Council of Norway. The starting date will be around October 2008 or as soon after as possible. The PhD position is with a research group in information theory and secure and reliable communication (Selmer Centre) at the Department of Informatics http://www.selmer.uib.no/

The main aims of the project are to investigate and develop novel distributed/graph-based algorithm strategies for quantum computation using Measurement-Based Quantum Computer models, and theirgeneralisations, and to combine these methods with classical Message-Passing techniques, such as are used for the de coding of Low Density Parity-Check Codes. It is expected that some of the results resulting from this research project may lead to new distributed algorithms for both classical/quantum multi-party computation/communication. The candidate should ideally have a background in one or more of the following: quantum information, coding theory, telecommunications, combinatorics, graph theory, algorithms, and/or cryptology. The applicant should also be good at writing software (e.g. C and/or Magma).

The prospective applicant may learn more about the background to this project by looking at the most recent publications at http://www.ii.uib.no/~matthew The successful applicant will benefit from highly favourable working conditions - Bergen is a beautiful city on the west coast of Norway, next to mountains and fjords. The successful applicant should, of course, be able to derive a perverse pleasure from the occasional bout of extremely wet weather.<p>

Closing Date: August 15th, 2008
