Variational Quantum Computing Beyond the Near Term is a PhD project at the University of Southampton investigating how variational quantum algorithms can become more robust on noisy quantum computers. The research focuses on simulated quantum systems and hybrid classical-quantum frameworks. You will explore error-correction-inspired techniques and learned redundancy within variational computational methods, with the aim of enabling larger and more reliable quantum computations despite hardware n...

About this position

The Quantum Field Theory group led by Professor Francesco Sannino at the Quantum Theory Center (QTC), hosted by the Department for Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) and the Danish Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Southern Denmark, is offering a fully funded PhD position. The position is supported by the Carlsberg Foundation through the Semper Ardens grant 'Solving Quantum Field Theory'.

The doctoral program spans three years, with a start date by the end of summer 2026. The research focus includes rigorous approaches to quantum gravity, effective quantum metric descriptions, string theory, black hole and wormhole physics (including entanglement), conformal field theory, gauge theories, semiclassical methods, effective field theories, renormalization group, high order perturbation theory, higher symmetries, and lattice field theory. The project also involves novel lattice methodologies, including applications of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, and studies of matter in extreme conditions.

Applicants must have a master's degree in theoretical physics and proven experience in the relevant research areas. The position is ideal for candidates interested in advancing the understanding of quantum field theory and related topics. International applicants are encouraged to consult resources about working and living in Denmark, including the International Staff Office at SDU.

The application deadline is 22 May 2026 at 23:59 Danish time. For full details and application instructions, visit the University of Southern Denmark website or apply directly via the Nature Careers link provided.
