Research Associate The post holder will work on the project “Optimal orchestration of heterogeneous quantum computers”.Quantum computers have reached a level of maturity that allows them to be integrated with traditional High-Performance Computing (HPC) and cloud infrastructure. However, the combination of these computing resources is still new, and there is no comprehensive framework for their interaction. Moreover, quantum computing hardware comes in various modalities, including superconducting hardware, ion-trapped architectures, photonics, and neutral atom platforms. Each modality has its advantages and disadvantages, and there is no definitive preference. Scaling up this engineering task requires making multiple computing devices work together, both quantum and classical.Job Identification 13438Contract Type Fixed TermApply Before 19 December 2025 Apply now Related links About the School of Informatics Our reputation Research Institutes University of Edinburgh Jobs PhD positions Vacancies and opportunities relevant to the UK academic community Academic jobs in Europe This article was published on 2024-03-18
