Offer Description

Postdoctoral Researcher position in OPUS 25 project financed by the National Science Centre – 1 position

Project title: “Design of friendly for environment processing of quantum resources and cost of security of quantum communication networks” (referred to below as DIFFQRN)

Project leader: dr hab. Karol Horodecki

Institution:Institute of Informatics, Division of Quantum Information, University of Gdańsk, Poland

 

So far, quantum information processing (QIP) has been designed to achieve the task at a reasonable cost. A new idea is formulated under the Quantum Energy Initiative umbrella, which aims at environment-friendly quantum information processing (EFQIP). One of the main purposes of the project DIFFQRN from National Science Centre is to compare different quantum ways to achieve some (quantum or classical) information processing tasks and provide the least harm to the environment way. Specifically, it aims to contribute to a paradigm shift from QIP to EFQIP, focusing on processing quantum resources. Quantum computing and the design of quantum networks are also part of this project's scope.

The candidate as the key member of the DIFFQRN project will conduct scientific research, contribute to writing publications, and present obtained results at conferences and seminars.
