As part of our team, you will take responsibility for researching and developing algorithms for quantum computing in chemical-pharmaceutical applications. You will be embedded in a team that is currently being built up, with the opportunity to help shape and contribute to it. The department "Interactive Engineering Technologies" conducts research and development in the area of geometric and physical modeling as well as in the area of simulation and optimization, especially using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) as co-processors to accelerate computations. This expertise in heterogeneous computing forms the basis for the identification of suitable problems as well as the portable and reusable implementation of quantum algorithms, where quantum computing requires fundamentally different approaches and ways of thinking. These developments contribute to the Center for Applied Quantum Computing (ZAQC), which is currently being established and in which you can be involved from the beginning. The results will serve customers from different industries, e.g., chemistry, pharmaceuticals, transportation, etc.

Applications are invited for a 2-3 year postdoctoral position in Theoretical Quantum Information Science at Duke University. The postdoc will be a member of Duke Quantum Center (https://quantum.duke.edu/people/) and Robust Quantum Simulation Institute (https://rqs.umd.edu/people/). The projects cover various topics in quantum computing, quantum control, quantum information, and quantum thermodynamics. The position requires a Ph.D. in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in quantum foundations at the Centre for Quantum Information and Communication at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). The researcher will work with Dr. Ognyan Oreshkov within the framework of the consortium project “The Quantum Information Structure of Spacetime (QISS), Second Phase”, funded by the John Templeton Foundation.
