Job Title: Research Fellow (Quantum Information Theory)

Research environment:

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries in computing, communications, and sensing. CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore. The Centre also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment. Learn more about CQT at https://www.cqt.sg/

Our research interests lie in the intersection of information theory, computer science and quantum physics. The main focus is on the mathematical foundations of the theory of quantum information, for example the study of entropy and other information measures and their applications. A particular application area of our research are theoretical questions that arise in quantum communication and cryptography when the available resources are limited.
