PhD Scholarship Opportunity: Quantum Compiler for Efficient Circuit Transpilation Monash University in Australia

This PhD scholarship is based at Monash University’s Clayton campus in Melbourne and sits at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The project aims to develop novel quantum artificial intelligence models that are intrinsically robust against adversarial attacks, with potential applications in areas such as autonomous vehicles, military systems, and medical diagnostics. The successful candidate will join the Scalable Quantum Systems Lab, led by Professor Muhammad Usma...

This PhD scholarship at Monash University invites an early-stage researcher to investigate secure quantum computation on shared quantum processors . The project focuses on the security risks that arise when multiple users access the same quantum processor through cloud-based shared environments, where carefully crafted quantum gate sequences may interfere with other users’ jobs and produce incorrect results. The successful candidate will analyse vulnerabilities in shared quantum computers and de...

PhD opportunity at The University of Newcastle , Australia, in Hierarchical Imitation Learning for Long-Horizon Robotic Tasks . This project develops a novel framework combining hierarchical imitation learning and reinforcement learning to help robots complete long-horizon, multi-step tasks such as production line assembly and household chores. The research focuses on learning high-level subgoals from demonstrations and low-level control policies for execution, with validation through continuous...

PhD project in scalable AI for quantum error correction at Monash University This scholarship supports a PhD project focused on developing scalable artificial intelligence methods for quantum error correction. The research aims to build decoding approaches capable of handling error information from millions of qubits at microsecond time scales, using techniques such as deep neural networks and transformers. The project sits at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning, addressin...

Two PhD scholarships are available for a 2027 start at Deakin University (Institute for Frontier Materials, Burwood Campus / Melbourne ) in research on polymer electrolytes for sodium batteries . The projects are supported by an Australian Research Council-funded project and focus on automated molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to screen poly(ionic liquid)-based materials . The research aims to identify molecular design strategies for highly conductive electrolytes with favourable mechanical pr...
