Topic: quantum information

Two postdoctoral researchers will study semiconductor quantum devices in the Quantum Functional System Research Group, led by Seigo Tarucha at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science. The work concerns silicon qubit characterization, multi-qubit systems, high-fidelity quantum operations and scalable quantum computing within Moonshot R&D Goal 6. Applicants need a doctorate in an experimental field such as semiconductor physics, quantum transport, electrical engineering or quantum information, or must obtain it before starting. The one-year appointment is renewable following evaluation,

Postdoctoral fellowships for recent PhDs pursuing independent research in fundamental theoretical physics. Areas include quantum matter, cosmology, quantum fields and strings, mathematical physics, quantum foundations, gravity, quantum information and particle physics, including intersections with AI. Fellows receive research and travel support, health coverage and mentoring; some appointments may be shared with partner institutions. Starting annual salary is CAD 79,000. Review begins on 6 November 2026 and applications continue until positions are filled.

Independent theoretical-physics research within Cornell’s Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics and the Kavli Institute. Topics span hard and soft condensed matter, cold atoms, quantum information, statistical physics, electronic structure, hydrodynamics and biophysics. Appointments are annual with an anticipated total duration of two years, an annual salary of USD 80,000 and research support. Apply by 1 October 2026 for the initial selection and potential Klarman nomination; Bethe/KIC and Wilkins/KIC recruitment continues until filled.

Supports fundamental physics through atomic, molecular and optical science; nuclear and particle physics; gravitation; plasma physics; living systems; quantum information; instrumentation and related programmes. Proposals are accepted at any time, with programme-specific target dates for review. Funding levels and duration vary; the solicitation does not promise a fixed individual award. Investigators should contact the relevant programme about overlapping proposals or existing Physics awards.

Perimeter invites new and recent PhDs in fundamental theoretical physics to pursue independent research in its interdisciplinary Waterloo community. Research areas span cosmology, mathematical physics, particle physics, quantum fields, gravity, quantum information and quantum matter. Support includes research and travel funding, healthcare, visiting collaborators and mentoring. Joint fellowships with partner institutions may be available. Submit a CV, publication list, research statement and at least three recommendation letters through AcademicJobsOnline. The application listing gives Novembe

MIT’s Center for Theoretical Physics, a Leinweber Institute, seeks postdoctoral fellows starting September 1, 2027. The broad search covers quantum field theory, gravity, strings, cosmology, particle and nuclear theory, strong interactions and quantum information, including connections across these fields. Independent research directions are welcome; close matching to a faculty programme is not required. Candidates must first be nominated by a faculty member or equivalent senior industry researcher by October 9, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. US Eastern Time. Nominees then apply through AcademicJobsOnline

The Anthony J. Leggett Institute for Condensed Matter Theory seeks postdoctoral researchers for Fall 2027. The Leggett fellowship is renewable for up to three years; Moore fellowships offer broad research choice in condensed matter theory and quantum materials. Interests include strongly correlated materials, topology, nonequilibrium physics and quantum information. Fellows collaborate with Illinois theorists and experimentalists, with access to materials, quantum-science and computing facilities. A single application covers both fellowships and related institute positions. Submit by October 1

Conduct theoretical and computational research on equilibrium and nonequilibrium many-body quantum systems, with applications across condensed matter, materials, chemistry and quantum information. Fellows develop concepts, algorithms and open-source software, publish findings, participate in collaborative activities and mentor students. The initial appointment is generally two years, renewable for a third based on performance, with an anticipated start between late August and late November 2027. The position is based at the foundation’s New York City offices; annual full-time compensation is $

RIKEN's Quantum Information Physics Theory Research Team is recruiting multiple researchers to conduct theoretical work across quantum computing, superconducting qubits, quantum optics, photonics, machine learning, quantum open systems, computational physics and condensed-matter physics. Appointments are available at senior research scientist, research scientist and postdoctoral levels, with duties scaled to experience. The official call is open until the positions are filled.

Develop and apply quantum resource theory for Extended Wigner’s Friend scenarios, where the presence of another observer can affect measurement outcomes. The work involves analytical quantum information and probability theory, together with numerical simulation, and relates to Bell nonlocality. This FAPESP-funded doctoral position is expected to start in March 2027. Apply by 16 November 2026 with a CV, a motivation letter of up to two pages and contact information for two academic referees, following the official advertisement.

Jadwiga Wilkens of Johannes Kepler University Linz presents gate-set-shadow methods for characterising noise on a 36-qubit superconducting processor. The seminar examines reconstructed noise channels, correlated errors and cross-talk, including limitations of standard noise models. The confirmed Quantum Information seminar is scheduled for 9 September 2026, from 11:00 to 12:30 Toronto time in Perimeter Institute's Bob Room.
