Your Job
Quantum computers will play a crucial role in the development and optimization of battery materials in the future. In this project, you will develop innovative quantum algorithms for the accurate calculation of materials properties. You will combine methods from quantum informatics and solid-state physics to describe the complex electronic and ionic processes in battery materials. New quantum algorithms will be tested for addressing topical questions in materials development for next-generation batteries.
In this project, you will benefit from the combined expertise in quantum algorithms and materials simulations at the institutes PGI-12 and IET-3. Thereby, Forschungszentrum Jülich will provide you with an ideal environment for your project with unique possibilities to access the latest hardware of quantum computers—directly on campus!
