DTU Electro invites applications for a PhD position in digital signal processing and machine-learning-enabled continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD). The position is offered within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie QuNEST – Quantum Enhanced Optical Communication Network Security doctoral training program (https://qunest.eu
) and the Villum Investigator Program: Power-Efficient Optical Communication (POPCOM).
The PhD project will focus on developing machine-learning-based signal-processing frameworks—including constellation and pulse shaping, as well as equalization—to mitigate impairments arising from practical limitations in CV-QKD systems (e.g., bandwidth constraints, ADC resolution, phase noise etc). Emphasis will be placed on energy-efficient, low-complexity hardware solutions.
The start date is flexible but preferably before 1 March 2026.
We seek a motivated, curious, and collaborative PhD candidate with a strong background in fiber optics, quantum optics, machine learning, and communication engineering. Experience with applying machine learning to classical or quantum communication systems, as well as hands-on experimental work, will be considered an advantage.
The goal of the project is to develop machine-learning-based algorithms for transmitter pre-distortion and receiver post-distortion architectures that enable distortion-free quantum communication systems. A key focus will be the identification and development of data-driven models that can subsequently be used for system optimization. The project encompasses both algorithm design and experimental implementation.
Close collaboration and research stays at Nokia Bell Labs (France) and the University of Warsaw (Poland) are planned as part of the project.
We offer an opportunity to develop expertise in various domains, including but not limited to:
- Machine learning techniques for design of quantum communication systems
- Data-driven modelling
- Development of optical performance monitoring techniques based on machine learning
- Realization of experimental procedures for test of the developed frameworks
- Building transmission systems for quantum communication systems
- Investigating transmission performance in practical test-beds
Responsibilities and qualifications
As a PhD candidate at DTU, you will take part in an educational program of 30 ECTS tailored to your needs on technical subjects, as well as on the “soft skills” needed for a successful career either in industry or academia.
Your tasks will include conducting research on machine-learning-based methods for mitigating impairments arising from system components and transmission media in quantum communication systems. In particular, you will work on minimizing interference introduced by various hardware and channel limitations. The objective is to maximize the secure key rate and transmission distance, subject to energy-consumption constraints.
More specifically, your work will focus on the following areas:
- Gradient based learning for signal equalization and demodulation
- Model-free reinforcement learning signal pre-distortion strategies
- Extracting the relevant information from correlation matrices
- Maintenance of the GitHub repository for the developed code
- Organizing and managing joint experiments with the collaboration groups
Eligible candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their date of recruitment.
You have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree and some international experience.
