Overview

We are looking for three doctoral students to work on the theoretical foundations of distributed quantum computing at the Department of Computer Science, Aalto University. The research focuses on understanding which distributed tasks admit a quantum advantage, especially in the context of the LOCAL model of distributed computing, and determining the fundamental limits of such processes.

Responsibilities

• Conduct independent research on distributed quantum computing, exploring quantum advantage and limits in distributed task models.
• Collaborate with the research group led by Jukka Suomela to develop novel algorithms, proofs, and computational tools.
• Prepare and present research results at major conferences and in peer‑reviewed publications.
• Utilize modern computational techniques, AI tools, and proof assistants such as Lean to support research.

Qualifications

• Recent master’s degree in theo...
