PhD Position on Quantum Error Correction for Photonics

Job description

As part of a new European Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network focused on quantum error correction and fault tolerance (QuBriC), we are seeking a PhD researcher who will work on quantum error correction for photonic, optical and microwave, quantum computing architectures within the group of Prof. Terhal at Delft University of Technology and QuTech.

The goal is to further develop fault-tolerant architectures for photonic platforms based on fusion-based and measurement-based computation, addressing photon loss and other hardware-specific errors. Some of the work will involve extending tools and concepts of circuit-based quantum error correction to fusion-based computation, using ZX calculus. The aim is to design, numerically simulate and decode (small) quantum error correction protocols which are near-term or immediately feasible on photonic hardware.

The training network enables and financially supports several few-months secondments of the PhD student at other involved parties in the network such as the company QuiX (Enschede) and UCL (London). Other trainings and collaborations in the area of quantum error correction are available via consortium events and workshops.

The PhD candidate will be embedded in the Terhal group, located at the Department of Applied Math, Faculty of EEMCS, Delft University of Technology. The PhD candidate is encouraged to discuss and collaborate with (experimental) researchers at QuTech, as well as the Delft office of the UK company Riverlane.

Requirements

• Master degree in physics or quantum technology.
• Theoretical background in optics and quantum technologies. Preferred: knowledge and MSc research experience in quantum error correction
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
• Demonstrated self-drive, scientific curiosity, and team worker attitude.

Postdoc in Tsunami Engineering

Job description

Tsunami engineering is a field that has grown rapidly over the last 22 years, spurred by a number of devastating events. In particular, the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami that devastated coastlines across the Indian Ocean and killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries, resulted in a significant worldwide effort towards a better characterisation of tsunami induced scour and forces on structures. The subsequent 2010 Maule earthquake and tsunami in Chile and 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, which damaged numerous modern engineered buildings, industrial facilities, bridges and large coastal defence infrastructure, resulted in the revision of building codes for tsunami design and the development of analytical methods for assessing buildings under tsunami loads. Despite this growth in activity, there are still many areas of tsunami interactions with the built environment that are not well understood.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Hydraulic Engineering Department at TU Delft and contribute to this global effort in advancing Tsunami Engineering.

This role specifically aims to build insights from the extensive tsunami experimental programmes already conducted under the ERC funded URBANWAVES project and in the MAKEWAVES project. In both projects, experiments were conducted in very large flumes at HR Wallingford (UK) using a pneumatic tsunami simulator that is globally unique in its capacity to generate waves with representative tsunami wavelengths. The experiments involved the simulation of tsunami of different form and wavelengths propagating along the flume, running up a beach and interacting with engineered coastal defence structures, natural defences, single and multiple buildings with different characteristics founded on solid and mobile sediment beds. This rich dataset has only been partly published and presents a unique opportunity to develop new knowledge and insights on both the physics of these destructive waves and their interaction with the built and natural environment.

In this role, you will analyse data sets from the experimental programmes to develop new insights, which you will disseminate through academic publications and outreach materials aimed at influencing the development of future codes of practice. For the latter, new insights into loading on structures may also be translated into structural response impacts using the structural analysis software OpenSEES and the bespoke VDPO toolkit for tsunami analysis of structures developed by the group. For this work, beyond TU Delft, you will need to collaborate with a wider consortium of international researchers, academics and engineers that contributed to the experimental campaigns (i.e. from University College London, HR Wallingford, London Southbank University, Imperial College. University of Naples Federico II, and others).

Our team promotes a healthy and collaborative work environment where diverse perspectives are valued, and where you will receive full support to develop your skills and expertise, including mentoring, opportunities to co-supervise students, and access to TU Delft’s training programme.

This vacancy is positioned within the globally recognized Department of Hydraulic Engineering (HE), known for its excellence in education, research, and career development, addressing key challenges like climate change, energy transition, and biodiversity loss. The department boasts cutting-edge facilities, a collaborative culture, and a diverse team, including 68 permanent staff, and over 100 PhD students and postdocs driving innovative research.

Job requirements
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with the following qualifications:

• A PhD in Civil (Hydraulic) Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. n.b. PhD thesis must have been submitted by start of the appointment.
• Strong skills in data processing, signal analysis, and programming (e.g. Python/Matlab)
• Demonstrated experience in publishing scientific journal papers
• Ability to work well independently as well as in a multi-disciplinary team.
• Fluent in English (oral and written).
• Availability to start on or before January 2027.

At this level, the role will involve greater scientific independence and responsibility. The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to take a more substantial role in developing and conducting research activities, interpreting research results, and contributing to scientific publications and collaboration within the research projects.

You will join the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at TU Delft’s Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. The department conducts research and education in hydraulic, coastal, river and offshore engineering. Within this international academic environment, you will contribute to research related to offshore wind energy and sustainable offshore infrastructure.
