The group has opportunities for motivated MEP and BEP students: please contact Tim at t.j.coopmans[at]tudelft.nl.

Two PhD positions are currently available:

PhD position: Classical simulation of noisy quantum circuits
The goal of this PhD position is to develop and apply fast simulation algorithms for noisy quantum circuits, building upon existing work, and applications of such simulations, such as error mitigation. The project will start out with investigating the potential of decision diagrams, a data structure from classical computer science that has been successfully applied to quantum circuits, and later venture out to other approaches if needed.

Deadline: 15 June 2025

PhD position: Automating the search for quantum error correction

This PhD’s aim is to develop algorithms to find (stabilizer) quantum error correction codes for small hardware with limited connectivity. We will first consider constraint solvers for this task and potentially try out other approaches from the “formal methods” community in classical computer science.
