Offer Description
Funding body:

FEDER, UE

Institution:

Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) / University of the Balearic Islands (UIB)

The core focus of the position will be exploring the implementation of quantum reservoir computing on photonic platforms.

Photonic systems offer a natural, scalable route to quantum reservoir computing. Within this framework,



particular attention will be devoted to the role of non-Gaussianity as a computational resource: since classical simulation of Gaussian states and operations can be performed efficiently and they therefore offer no genuine advantage, non-Gaussian elements such as photon-added or photon-subtracted states, Kerr-type nonlinearities or non-Gaussian measurements will be analysed.

The successful candidate will investigate how different sources and degrees of non-Gaussianity affect learning performance, memory capacity and the robustness of photonic quantum reservoirs.

A Master's Degree in Physics or related disciplines.

Specific Requirements
Previous experience in quantum physics, photonics and quantum machine learning.

Language requirements:

English skills would be a plus.

Experience requirements:

Previous experience in photonic quantum machine learning is required.

Years of Research Experience 1 - 4
