Research Assistant/Assoc in Quantum

The Role

We are seeking research associates (or research assistants, for those who have submitted their PhD thesis by the start date of the role) with experience in the broad area of quantum information science and technology, and an interest in quantum foundations more specifically, to work with Dr Jonte R Hance within the Quantum Research Group in the School of Computing.

Positions are funded under Dr Hance’s EPSRC New Investigator Award, titled “Leveraging Quantum Foundations for Metrological Advantage”. This project involves working theoretically to optimise setups with this counterfactual gain for metrology applications, with a focus on understanding, manipulating, and leveraging quasiprobability negativity as a resource for quantum metrological advantage. It also involves building collaborations with experimentalist partners to demonstrate counterfactual gain, and how quasiprobability negativity can strengthen it, and how both can be used for metrol...
