Job Description
The FraunhoferGesellschaft () currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the worlds leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.
The Quantum Compilation group at Fraunhofer IIS part of the Machine Intelligence department at our Nuremberg site is looking for motivated students!Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds from computer science engineering and physics. Since 2019 our group has delved into cuttingedge topics within the realm of quantum computing including quantum machine learning machine learning for quantum compilation error correction and quantumcircuit cutting. The masters thesis will be conducted as a joint project with theChair for Quantum Theory at FriedrichAlexander University ErlangenNrnberg under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael J. Hartmann.
Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is a fastevolving field aimed at achieving largescale FaultTolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC). It focuses on encoding fragile quantum states to detect and correct errors before they affect the information. Current methods have high overhead making them impractical in the near term. Thus developing alternative and more efficient approaches is essential.
You are interested in quantum error correction and would like to further develop your skills Then have a look at our offer!
- You will conduct cuttingedge research on quantum error correction and faulttolerant quantum computing guided by an experienced researcher in the field
- You will develop and implement techniques to reduce the overhead of quantum error correction.
- Utilize tools from machine learning and reinforcement learning.
- You will perform experiments to test the developed approaches first in simulation later eventually on actual stateoftheart quantum hardware
- You will write down your findings to constitute your masters thesis if the results permit potentially followed up by a publication
- You are currently studying physics computer science mathematics or a related field
- You have experience with quantum computing in particular quantum error correction
- You have basic understanding in Python programming including quantum computing libraries like Qiskit
- You are interested in machine learning mathematical optimization or similar tools
- You are comfortable communicating in English
- You are able to attend inperson meetings at out site in Nuremberg when necessary with the option for remote work as well
- Flexible working hours
- Open and friendly team work
- Varied tasks with room for creativity
- Exciting seminars and events
- Networking with scientists
- Active contribution in applied research
- Interesting an innovative projects
- Mentoring program josephine for talented female students
We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to write a Masters thesis in collaboration with us on the abovementioned topic. The awarding and execution of the thesis will follow the rules of the university where you are enrolled. After your studies you have the option of working with us full or parttime.
We value and promote the diversity of our employees skills and therefore welcome all applications regardless of age gender nationality ethnic and social origin religion ideology disability sexual orientation and identity.
