Fraunhofer-Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen IIS

Master’s Thesis (m/f/d) – Quantum Error Correction / Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

Nuremberg

PART TIME

November 14, 2024

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.
The »Quantum Compilation« group at Fraunhofer IIS is part of the »Machine Intelligence« department and located at the institute’s Nuremberg site. Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds from computer science, engineering and physics. Since 2019 our group has delved into cutting-edge topics within the realm of quantum computing, including quantum machine learning, machine learning for quantum compilation, error correction, and quantum-circuit cutting. The master’s thesis will be conducted as a joint project with the »Chair for Quantum Theory« at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael J. Hartmann.
The field of »Quantum Error Correction« (QEC) is a rapidly advancing research domain, with the goal of large-scale »Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing« (FTQC). QEC involves encoding fragile quantum states in a way that allows for the detection and correction of errors before they can propagate and compromise the underlying information. Currently proposed methods require significant overhead, making them impractical in the mid-term. Therefore, the development of alternative, more efficient routines is critical.
In this Master’s Thesis, you will develop and adapt quantum error correction procedures using tools from, but not limited to, machine learning and reinforcement learning. The aim is to create more efficient error correction methods that advance the progress towards early FTQC.
You are interested in quantum error correction and would like to further develop your skills? Then have a look at our offer!
What you will do
  • You will conduct cutting-edge research on quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing, guided by an experienced researcher in the field
  • You will develop and implement techniques to reduce the overhead of quantum error correction
  • You will perform experiments to test the developed approaches - first in simulation, later eventually on actual state-of-the-art quantum hardware
  • You will write down your findings to constitute your master’s thesis, if the results permit potentially followed up by a publication
What you bring to the table
  • You are currently studying physics, computer science, mathematics or a related field
  • You have experience with quantum computing, in particular quantum error correction
  • You have experience in Python programming, including quantum computing libraries like Qiskit
  • You are familiar with either machine learning, mathematical optimization, or similar tools
  • You speak English fluently
  • You are able to attend in-person meetings at out site in Nuremberg
What you can expect
  • Flexible working hours
  • Open and friendly team work
  • Varied tasks with room for creativity
  • Exciting seminars and events
  • Networking with scientists
  • Active contribution in applied research
  • Interesting an innovative projects
  • Mentoring program »josephine®« for talented female students
We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to write a Master's thesis in collaboration with us on the abovementioned topic. The awarding and execution of the thesis will follow the rules of the university where you are enrolled. After your studies, you have the option of working with us full or part-time.
We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
Interested? Join our team and work with us on the technology of tomorrow! Apply online now (PDF: cover letter, CV, transcripts).We look forward to getting to know you!
