Job Description

(2) Quantum information, quantum computing, quantum machine learning

The intern will undertake a research project in quantum information, quantum computing, or quantum machine learning. The specific project scope and objectives will be determined based on the intern’s background, skills, and proposed topic, and finalized through mutual discussion.

The project will be carried out at the Quantum AI Biomedical Research Lab, Department of Artificial Intelligence, Chang Gung University. Lab website: https://renatawong.github.io/

All applicants must submit a brief project proposal (300–600 words) either through the IIPP platform during your application or to quantum.lab.cgu@gmail.com. The proposal includes:

  • Proposed topic in quantum information / QC / QML
  • Motivation and background context
  • Methods you plan to use (theoretical, simulation, Qiskit, PennyLane, Cirq, etc.)
  • Expected outcome (e.g., model, experiment, analysis, report, benchmark)
  • Relevant coursework/experience that enables you to execute the project

Applications without a project proposal will not be considered.

Preference will be given to applicants with prior coursework or research experience in quantum information or quantum computing.
