Job summary

Nanyang Technological University invites applications for a Senior Research Fellow to advance the theoretical foundations of quantum reservoir computing within an international JST–A*STAR collaboration involving Tokyo and other partners. The role focuses on mathematical analysis of input-driven open quantum dynamics and learning guarantees.

The fellow will serve as the principal scientific link between NTU and Tokyo teams, with research stays at the University of Tokyo and active involvement in

Qualifications

• PhD in mathematics, applied maths, physics, control theory, or related field.
• Research record in open quantum systems, quantum control, quantum stochastic processes, or mathematics of dynamical systems and machine learning.
• Knowledge of input-driven and stochastic dynamical systems; kernel/RKHS methods or statistical learning theory is an advantage.
• Publications in leading journals and ability to produce original theoretical results.
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or Julia for numerical work.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in international collaborations.

Responsibilities

• Analyse memory and echo state properties of quantum reservoirs, including non-Markovian and infinite-dimensional settings.
• Extend stochastic state-space and state-affine frameworks to quantum reservoirs with measurement-induced randomness.
• Derive learnability and generalization guarantees for temporal quantum learning.
• Construct and analyse quantum reservoir-induced kernels and associated finite-sample bounds.
• Run numerical simulations and benchmarks validating the theory.
• Publish in leading journals, present at international conferences, and support project workshops.
• Coordinate with the Japan-based team and collaborators, and co-supervise a graduate student.
