Dear colleague,



Please forward the following job advert to relevant mailing lists or
individuals who may be interested.



**************



The Department of Physics and Astronomy is looking to appoint a
Post-doctoral Research Associate to work on the EPSRC funded project
"Towards fault-tolerant quantum computing with minimal resources" under
direction of Dr Earl Campbell.



The project's goal is to quantify and reduce the resource cost of
fault-tolerance protocols in quantum computation. The appointment is
initially for 3 years. The project will leverage tools from physics,
mathematics and computer science, and so applicants are welcomed with a
training from any of these backgrounds. You will combine analytic insights
with intensive numerical simulation to determine resource costs of quantum
error correction, magic state distillation or gauge-fixing, gate
compilation, etc. Concepts from topology and homology theory will be used
to explore the merits of exotic quantum codes beyond the well known toric
code. You will have, or be about to obtain a PhD (or have equivalent
experience), in quantum computing theory or a related research field.



Informal enquiries can me made to Dr Earl Campbell via
e.campbell at sheffield.ac.uk. Applications must be processed through
University of Sheffield jobs page (http://tinyurl.com/o2tove2) where the
position is listed under reference UOS010923.  The deadline for
applications is 21st July 2015.
