Phd Position in The Field of Quantum Computing
vor 1 Woche
The Fraunhofer ITWM is one of currently 76 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V. (Fraunhofer Society for the Advancement of Applied Research) and can thus draw on the competencies of a strong network. We, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, see it as our task to further develop key technologies, to give innovative impulses, and to implement them in practice together with industrial partners.
Currently, the joint project Quantum Initiative Rhineland-Palatinate (QUIP) of the Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), the Fraunhofer ITWM, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is running. It aims to sustainably strengthen quantum technology in Rhineland-Palatinate. In the graduate college of the project, a PhD position for quantum computing will be awarded for three years at our Fraunhofer ITWM.
**What you will do**
**As part of your PhD, you will conduct research in the field of quantum computing - with a specific focus, depending on your PhD topic.**
We are investigating how to combine classical methods, which are already widely used to solve mathematical problems, with the advantages of QC. Our goal is not to replace classical methods one-to-one with quantum algorithms, but to complement classical methods with QC. For example, one topic may be optimization on Rydberg atom quantum simulators. Here, we are focusing on an efficient coding and computation strategy for optimization problems on a Rydberg atom quantum simulator.
**What you bring to the table**
- A very good university degree (diploma, master's degree) in mathematics, computer science, physics or a related discipline
- Enthusiasm for mathematical tasks, ability to think abstractly
- Algorithmic thinking, enjoying tricky programming tasks and developing completely new solution strategies
- Programming experience in Python and willingness to learn new concepts/programming methods (Qiskit from IBM)
- Basic knowledge in quantum computing or the willingness to gain it
**What you can expect**
- Exciting tasks in a dedicated, international team of scientists* who are completely committed to applied research
- Close mentoring and constructive feedback
- A modern, dynamic and exciting work environment with short decision-making processes and a flat hierarchy.
- The latest technology in an exciting research environment
The position is temporary for 3 years and will be part-time.
With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
