PhD in secure multiparty computation in quantum networks

Employment type

Temporary position more than 6 months · Full time. Requisition: 2026/844. Country: Denmark. As part of the Centre for Quantum Communication Networks and Applications, one PhD stipend is available at the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

The position will be tied to a work package related to multiparty computation in quantum networks. The stipend is open for appointment from 1st November 2026 or soon hereafter. The duration of the position is three years. Your work tasks The successful candidate will contribute to developing new cryptographic network protocols based on quantum resources.

A particular focus is given to secure multiparty computation protocols where participants are not restricted to classical hardware, but may have (potentially limited) access to quantum resources such as entanglement. The goal is to use this entanglement in combination with other properties of quantum information – e.g. the no-cloning principle – to provide improved privacy in distributed computation settings.

As part of the position, you will be expected to collaborate with other researchers from the CLASSIQUE Centre of Excellence at Aalborg University as well as researchers affiliated with the Centre for Quantum Communication Networks and Applications led by Simula UiB in Bergen, Norway. During the PhD studies, you will also be expected to perform teaching tasks – e.g1 …
