PhD and Postdoc positions are available in the Research Group "Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Physics", led by Norbert Schuch, at the University of Vienna.
Topics of interest cover the whole range from quantum information and computation to quantum many-body physics, with a focus on tensor networks and related methods.
Research topics covered in the group include:
- Theory of tensor networks, classification of phases
- Development of tensor network algorithms and simulation methods for quantum many-body systems
- Topological order and spin liquids
- Quantum Algorithms (in particular for the simulation of many-body problems and for NISQ devices)
- Entanglement Theory
- Mathematical theory of quantum many-body systems
- Quantum Complexity Theory
More information on the group and topics can be found at https://schuch.univie.ac.at/.
Applications should be emailed to schuch-office.quantum@univie.ac.at, Subject: "PhD Application" or "Postdoc Application", and contain the following material:
1) For PhD applicants: A comprehensive CV (including certificates & grades from bachelor and master studies), a brief cover letter (max. 1 page), explaining the motivation for joining the group, and the contact data of at least one referee who can provide a letter of recommendation upon request; preferably all in one PDF file.
2) For Postdoc applicants: A comprehensive CV (including a list of publications & talks), relevant certificates and grades, a brief description of future research plans (about 2-3 pages), and the contact data of at least two referees who can provide a letter of recommendation upon request; preferably all in one PDF file.
Deadline for initial consideration is January 23rd, 2023, but later applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Starting dates are flexible.
