Postdoctoral Researcher in cQED Theory and Open Quantum Systems

Role and research opportunity

A Postdoctoral Researcher in theory for the Quantum Computing and Devices (QCD) group at Aalto University. The position targets researchers in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) wishing to shape the next generation of superconducting quantum technology. The successful candidate will be a successor to a departing circuit‑theory researcher, with strong experience in the theory of cQED circuits, ability to translate theory into experimentally useful designs, models, or analyses, and, ideally, expertise in open quantum systems.
