The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) at the University of Luxembourg contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine.
Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

To this end, one PhD student will be hired to perform research in the domain of quantum computing applied to optimization problems with possible topics covering:

• Variational quantum algorithms for optimization
• Quantum annealing
• Quantum inspired optimization
• Quantum machine learning with a special emphasis on classical optimization of QML algorithms
• Noise mitigation in relation to optimization algorithms
• Other closely related topics
