Ideally you'll have a doctoral degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or =
Physics, and experience in quantum computing, programming languages, and/or=
category theory, with a strong mathematical background. We make allowances=
to welcome working with anyone, and especially encourage you to apply if y=
ou're a member of an underrepresented group.
The project aims to prototype a quantum programming language based on categ=
orical universal properties such as quantum information effects, implement =
a compiler, and quantify its robustness, and develop automated strategies t=
o trade off resilience to noise against speed or accuracy. There are both t=
heoretical components, involving research into category theory and quantum =
information theory, and practical components, involving implementation and =
case studies. You will work with at least two other postdoctoral researcher=
s and several PhD students on this project. You will be part of a larger te=
am in Quantum Informatics, and be part of the NQCC Quantum Software Lab.
The positions are funded by EPSRC. For more information, get in touch with =
<chris.heunen@ed.ac.uk>.
