Edinburgh, United Kingdom Quantum Flagship Full time

Quantum Informatics group (Quantum Software Lab)
We are looking for three Postdoctoral Research Associates for the EPSRC-funded project “Rubber DUQ: flexible Dynamic Universal Quantum programming” three years each. The project aims to prototype a quantum programming language based on categorical universal properties such as quantum information effects, implement a compiler, and quantify its robustness, and develop automated strategies to trade off resilience to noise against speed or accuracy. There are both theoretical components, involving research into category theory and quantum information theory, and practical components, involving implementation and case studies. Research Associates.
University of Edinburgh, College of Science and Engineering, School of Informatics, Quantum Software Lab
Fixed-term, Full time (35 hours)
This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week), however, we are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
