Research Fellow (Energetics of Quantum Technologies),Centre for Quantum Technologies

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) is a research centre of excellence in Singapore. It brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries in computing, communications, and sensing. CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore and also has staff at Nanyang Technological University. With some 180 researchers and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment. Learn more about CQT at www.quantumlah.org

Job Description

With the rise of quantum technologies, the question of their resource consumption is becoming accurate. Oddly enough, the energetic footprint of quantum technologies has remained in a blindspot of national and international quantum strategies and roadmaps. The purpose of this research position is to build a framework to model and minimize the physical resource consumption of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, define energy-based figures of merit and exploit them to benchmark NISQ algorithms and NISQ platforms, and explore the conditions of a quantum energy advantage.

Job Requirements
