The University’s Department of Physics invites applications for a PhD studentship funded by the Royal Society and the University of Exeter to commence on 1st October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. For eligible students the studentship will cover Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend for 4 years full-time, or pro rata for part-time study.

Here, at the University of Sheffield, we are a theory group focussing on Quantum Error Correction (QEC) and its applications, for example in Quantum Metrology. We are also interested in fundamental problems in quantum metrology, such as in multiparameter state estimation (and applications).

We are located in the lovely city of Sheffield, in the United Kingdom.

For our newly formed theory division located in Toronto, Canada, we are seeking an excellent research scientist to work on various theoretical aspects of quantum computer design and development. This involves, but is not limited to, development of new photonic-based quantum computing architectures, implementation of quantum algorithms to be compatible with the ORCA photonic design and development of tailored fault-tolerant error correcting codes. An important milestone on the way to the photonic fault-tolerant universal quantum computer is a noisy near-term device with limited fault tolerance capabilities. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to its development in close collaboration with the ORCA quantum hardware group.

ORCA Computing is seeking a theorist in the area of quantum computing to build and lead the theory team within ORCA.
