Employment type: Full time. Requisition: 4355. Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a 2-year Postdoctoral Researcher position within the newly funded QUANTRONIC – Spintronic Pseudo-Qubits for Room-Temperature Quantum Computing project, supported by the Villum Experiment programme of Villum Fonden.
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate a new class of spintronic pseudo-qubits (p-qubits) based on spin-orbit torque magnetic tunnel junctions (SOT-MTJs).
The project explores whether engineered stochastic spintronic devices can reproduce key computational mechanisms associated with quantum systems - including superposition-like states, probability-amplitude-based interference, and entanglement-like correlations—without relying on fragile quantum coherence or cryogenic operation.
QUANTRONIC is a high-risk, high-gain research project positioned at the intersection of spintronics, probabilistic computing, quantum-inspired computing, nanoelectronics, and integrated circuit design. The central concept is a novel SOT-MTJ architecture designed to represent and manipulate probability amplitudes and to enable synchronization between multiple pseudo-qubits1 …
