Model-Based Systems Engineering Approach for Automating Qubit Control Architecture Exploration
Join a pioneering research project in quantum computing architecture.
Best for:Best for candidates with a strong background in software engineering and interest in quantum computing.
Overview
This PhD position focuses on developing a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) framework to automate and optimize the design of qubit control architectures in quantum computers. The research will involve adapting SysML v2 modeling language to the quantum domain, creating extensions for modeling, and exploring the impact of quantum algorithms on architecture. The candidate will work on methodologies for architectural exploration, incorporating operational research algorithms and sensitivity analyses. This project is hosted at CEA Grenoble and aims to provide insights into promising research and development avenues in quantum computing.
