Doctoral student for Quantum-aware data centres project

What you'll do
You will work on a PhD research project on quantum-aware data centers, aiming to explore the integration of quantum computing, communication, and memory resources into existing or new cloud infrastructures to build scalable and secure hybrid data centers. The research will address key challenges, including physical infrastructure for quantum hardware, quantum data ingestion, integration of quantum memory systems, distributed quantum computing, and end-to-end network orchestration.

Your responsibilities
Conduct theoretical research on hybrid quantum algorithms emphasizing the natural integration with different quantum computing technologies.
Develop and refine theoretical and computational models for hybrid integration.
Implement these models on classical and quantum platforms.
Explore the energy footprint modeling of quantum computing infrastructures, particularly at the scale of distributed and cloud-based quantum systems.

Your profile
Your field of study is in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.
Strong background in at least one among quantum computing, distributed system, and computer science.
Proficiency in programming languages (preferentially Python or Julia)
Familiarity with quantum computing frameworks (e.g. Qiskit, Qibo, Pennylane or similar) would be an advantage

Your skills
Demonstrated problem-solving abilities, innovative thinking, and the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively.
Knowledge in distributed systems, networking, cloud or HPC infrastructure, prior exposure to quantum software or hardware is a plus
Knowledge of high energy physics principles and data analysis methodologies would be an advantage
Spoken and written English or French
