While machine-leaning enabled systems have witnessed huge advances in recent years, concerns surrounding their adequacy and safety have also grown, for instance in the context of high-risk, decision making. Including human agents in their design (to provide oversight and control) has been often considered as a reasonable solution for overcoming such concerns. However, ensuring the safe design for human-in-the-loop machine-leaning enabled...

Department of Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, Parks ROad, Oxford Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Research Fellow in optical neural networks (experiment) The posts are available initially for a fixed-term until 31 December 2024 with the possibility of an extension subject to funding. The project is to implement artificial neural networks using optics rather than electronics. Optical neural networks would enable us to enhance both the power efficiency and speed of neural networks by several orders of magnitude. The specific aim is to develop a conceptually novel deep optics neural network system for computer vision. This system will allow an optical neural network to “see” and interpret objects directly, bypassing the processing bottleneck associate with converting an image into an electronic form. Such a system will have ultra-low latency and find applications in autonomous vehicles, remote sensing and intelligent robotics. The successful...

Department of Engineering Science, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PJ We are seeking a candidate for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant position within Professor Ares’ research group at the Department of Engineering Science (Central Oxford). The post is funded by Innovate and is fixed-term to the 28th February 2025. For quantum computers to be used practically, a large number of qubits need to be controlled with absolute precision and without errors which is an extremely difficult task. The need to calibrate individual qubits, either to maximise fidelity initially or when parameters drift, constitutes a complicated and repetitive process, requiring deep understanding of the set-up and “muscle memory”. You will develop scalable and autonomous calibration frameworks to optimise quantum device performance. Machine-learning based algorithms will then make an informed decision about the appropriate calibration routine, which will be implemented by a...
