Hiring two researchers with expertise in quantum machine learning, starting by February 2025
Towards a World-Class Supercomputing Ecosystem - HPCQS Pioneers Federated Quantum-Super-Computing in Europe
www.hpcqs.eu
March 1, 2025 or later
With the new project “High-Performance Computer and Quantum Simulator hybrid” (HPCQS) Europe enters into the new era of hybrid quantum-high-performance computing. HPCQS sets out to integrate two quantum simulators, each controlling about 100+ qubits in supercomputers located at two European HPC centers. The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) based in Luxembourg has granted the infrastructure project in the framework of its Research and Innovation Action “Advanced pilots towards the European exascale Supercomputers”. HPCQS will receive a total budget of 12 Mio Euro over the next four years, which is provided by the EuroHPC JU and the participating member states in equal parts.
Joining the efforts of academia, including research and technology organizations and industry, Europe will foster its future competitiveness by addressing applications related to complex simulations and optimization problems. The latter can be found, for example, in materials and drug design, logistics and transportation as well as many other relevant use cases. HPCQS will play a key role by enabling research entities and industries to exploit the new quantum technologies and find solutions to complex problems.
The four-year pilot project HPCQS will develop the programming platform for the quantum simulator. It is based on two European software developments, the Atos Quantum Learning Machine (QLM)TM and ParTec’s Parastation ModuloTM. Together, these technologies allow the deep, low-latency integration of quantum simulators into classical modular HPC systems as a first-of-its-kind realization.
To achieve these goals, HPCQS brings together leading quantum and supercomputer experts from science and industry from six European countries. HPCQS will become an incubator for practical quantum HPC hybrid computing that is unique in the world. The five participating European HPC centers JSC at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Tier-0 site, Germany), GENCI/CEA (Tier-0 site, France), Barcelona Supercomputing Center (Tier-0 and pre-exascale site, Spain), CINECA (Tier-0 and pre-exascale site, Italy) and NUIG-ICHEC (Tier-1 site, Ireland) collaborate closely with the technological partners Atos (France), ParTec (Germany), FlySight (Italy), ParityQC (Austria), the research partners CEA (France), CNRS (France), Inria (France), CNR (Italy), the University of Innsbruck (Austria), Fraunhofer IAF (Germany) and the SME partner Eurice (Germany) to reach their joint goals. In addition, the HPCQS project has received more than thirty letters of support from academia, industry, SMEs and start-ups, which demonstrates the strong expectations of the European user community.
CNR Team Leader: Prof. Filippo Caruso
Position summary
Full-time temporary employment for two years.
Qualifications
Required qualifications:
- PhD in Physics or equivalent.
- Fluency in English, oral and written; interest and skills in working collaboratively as well as independently.
Experience in one or more of these fields is desired:
- Machine Learning and optimisation algorithms.
- Quantum Information Theory.
- Quantum Machine Learning.
- Python programming.

Photonic and nAnomeTric High-sensitivity biO-Sensing
www.pathos-fetopen.eu
Within the EU FET-OPEN H2020, the PATHOS consortium is developing a radically new technology for the sensing of bio-systems and in-vivo diagnostics of biomedical conditions using hitherto unexploited tools (pioneered by the partners of this very interdisciplinary consortium): unconventional complex-system dynamical control and information sampling/processing, e.g. (i) magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) and optically-detected magnetic-resonance (ODMR) sensing via cooling/suppression of thermal noisy background in-vivo, (ii) NMR intra-molecule/intra-tissue sensing and intra-cell NV-center thermometry, (iii) advanced sensing-data processing, including high-order correlation spectroscopy.
As part of this effort, at the University of Florence we are continuously seeking Postdocs in Quantum Information Theory and Noise Sensing, who will work on the controlled and optimised manipulation of quantum probes and the analysis of spatial and temporal correlations of environmental noise.
