quantum chemistry

We have openings to contribute to a variety of activities centred on trapped-ion systems with focus on developing new programmable quantum algorithms for the simulations of chemical dynamics, exploring advanced quantum control techniques for qudit- and bosonic-based quantum computations, and the development of novel quantum metrology protocols for sensing and the tests of fundamental physics.

2 years Post-doctoral position in:

Quantum Computing Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science

The postdoctoral researcher, appointed for 2 years, will be responsible for developing new algorithms for the design and optimization of variational wavefunctions that can be implemented on NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) computers, using methods such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver. The candidate should hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science or related topics.

The theoretical division of Quantum Algorithms, directed by Prof. Leandro Aolita, at the Quantum Research Centre (QRC) of the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is seeking highly talented and motivated experienced researchers to fill a vacancy of lead scientist. This is an intermediate position between postdoctoral researcher and director.

Within the the EU QT-Flagship, the OpenSuperQ consortium will build a cloud-based superconducting quantum computer at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. As part of this effort, we are currently seeking a Postdoc in Computational Quantum Chemistry, who will work in the Chalmers team modelling physical systems on quantum computers.

Are you interested in developing the next generation of computational methods to access drug development using quantum computers? Would you like to apply your expertise in a company that are following the science and turn ideas into life changing medicines? Then you might be the one we are looking for!
