From: Felix Huber Date: 26 May 2025 at 23:30:34 CEST To: quantum-foundations Subject: [quantum-foundations] PhD positions in Quantum Information Theory @ U. Gdańsk Reply-To: felix.huber@physik.uni-siegen.de

Dear all,

We are seeking to hire two PhD students with interest in quantum information and mathematical optimization. The successful candidates will work closely with Felix Huber (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://huberfe.github.io/__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!WgvK-... ) at the Division of Quantum Computing of the University of Gdańsk.

Possible research topics are:

- approximation algorithms in QIT - symmetry- and size reduction of polynomial optimization problems - characterization of quantum codes and quantum capacities - characterization of quantum correlations, entanglement, nonlocality - machine learning for optimization problems

Candidates should have training or experience in the following areas: physics, mathematics, informatics. The ideal candidate took courses on quantum information and computation, mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, or coding theory. Programming experience (Python/Julia, Sage, GAP, semidefinite programming) is a plus.

The positions are offered for 4 years, with a stipend of approx. 5000 PLN net + 3466 PLN gross (5000 PLN net + 5340 PLN gross after successful midterm evaluation) and travel funding. The positions includes Polish social security coverage, including health insurance.

Applicants can send their applications (CV, names + email of two references, copy or link to MSc thesis, a motivation/cover letter is strongly encouraged, signed data processing statement) with subject “NCN PhD” to: felix.huber@ug.edu.pl

For more information see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://huberfe.github.io/jobs__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!W... . If you have any questions about the position please don't hesitate to contact me at the email address above.
