PhD

Your PhD project will be part of an interdisciplinary research project bridging theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.
In the course of this, you will work on

• implementing efficient simulators for continuous and discrete variable systems with noise based on Gaussian/stabilizer decompositions
• quantum error mitigation and correction for continuous variable systems
• evaluating and rigorously define the computational power of continuous variable systems

Your PhD project will be part of an interdisciplinary research project bridging theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.
In the course of this, you will work on

• extending established techniques for quantum circuit representation and manipulation (e.g. diagrammatic methods like ZX-calculus) towards description of quantum noise
• employ such extended methods for quantum circuit compilation, optimization and error mitigation
• collaborate with theoretical computer scientists on developing noise-aware quantum programming paradigms
