Internship Qnlp

The Applied Quantum NLP Research team in Quantinuum is seeking two interns for a 3/6-month project on Quantum Software Engineering, based at the Oxford office. Quantinuum's Oxford team works on quantum models of natural language, and has developed the open-source Python library lambeq [1]. The project will be supervised by Dr Dimitrios Kartsaklis, Head of Applied QNLP Research in Quantinuum, and it will involve the design and development of add-ons for lambeq that extend the functionality of the package in aspects such as: Quantum Machine Learning models, platforms and functionality; support of quantum circuits that represent text at the discourse level, as proposed in the DisCoCirc framework [3]; graphical interfaces for lambeq.
- MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Quantum Computing, AI, or a similar topic.
- Excellent knowledge of Python, OOP, and software engineering principles
- Familiarity with Quantum Machine Learning and variational quantum algorithms.
- Knowledge of ML and QML libraries such as PyTorch, TorchQuantum, or PennyLane.

**Desirable skills**:

- Published work in NLP, QNLP, AI, or SE
- Contributions to open-source projects
- Web programming skills
- Knowledge of tensor-based NLP approaches, such as the DisCoCat framework [2], and tensor networks.
- Familiarity with mathematical models of meaning and category theory
