The NanoComputing Research Lab in Integrated Circuits (IC) group within the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is seeking to hire an excellent and motivated PhD candidate.
Project
In recent years, neutral atom quantum computing architectures have emerged as promising candidates for implementing quantum information processing due to their long coherence times, relaxed cooling environment and flexible arrangement of qubits to perform multi-qubit operations for enabling parallelism in quantum operations. However, controlling these quantum architectures through pulses is a challenge due to the presence of noise, hardware, or experimental limitations.
In addition, most quantum hardware-software co-design methods i.e., compilation, synthesis, and error mitigation are mainly geared toward superconducting qubits, whereas dedicated circuit design methods supporting and exploiting the potential of neutral atom quantum architectures based on Rydberg atoms remain largely unexplored. Such as how to take advantage of the native supported qubit operations of three- or more-qubits while also considering qubit mapping and pulse sequences. AtomCOMP, a recently funded NWO project, exploits this opportunity by developing a novel open-source hybrid compilation framework that combines both qubit mapping and circuit-level pulse generation and optimization. AtomCOMP aims to take advantage of the multi-qubit operations by appropriately mapping quantum circuits and optimizing circuit-level pulses.
Candidate
We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join our team working on quantum architecture based on Rydberg atoms in close collaboration with experimental group. The project aims to develop quantum circuit design toolbox to enable quantum application and algorithms implementation on quantum hardware based on cold atom platform.
