Job offer

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.
