QuaResC postdoc position

Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral position at IFISC (Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, CSIC-UIB), a member of the Units of Excellence (María de Maeztu) of cutting-edge research centres in Spain. The offered postdoctoral position is associated with the research line on Quantum Machine Learning and Reservoir Computing (https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/research/projects/quaresc/). The appointed post-doc will focus on the exploration of different implementations of quantum reservoir computing and other quantum machine learning methods to assess the possibility of a quantum advantage in the context of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing (NISQ) or analogue photonic, atomic and superconducting qubit platforms. Recent works of our team on this subject are:
