Hanover, Deutschland Leibniz Universität Hannover Vollzeit

Research Assistant (Postdoc; m/f/d) in Quantum Technologies focusing on quantum compiling

(Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 100 %)

The „Quantum Valley Lower Saxony“ (QVLS-Q1) research consortium, a collaboration between TU Braunschweig, Leibniz University Hannover and PTB, aims at realizing a 50-qubit quantum computer based on trapped ions.

The consortium invites applications for the position of a Research Assistant (Postdoc; m/f/d) in Quantum Technologies focusing on quantum compiling (Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 100 %) starting on 1 July 2024. The position is limited to 18 months. The location is Hannover.

The control of quantum states of trapped ions is one of the most advances approached on the way towards error tolerant programmable quantum computers. Based on chip technology for ion traps in combination with microwave control, a 50-Qubit-System will be built in QVLS-Q1. Expert teams will focus on all aspects from chip design and fabrication with integrated optics and electronics to electronic circuit design, laser technology and software design for various applications.

We are part of an excellent research environment with access to the unique infrastructure of the whole consortium. The team is working in an excellent national and international network and is participating – besides QVSL-Q1 – in important large collaborative projects, including the Excellence Cluster „QuantumFrontiers“.

Responsibilities and duties

Development of high-level interfaces for quantum computing Development of quantum gate sequences for high-level quantum programming

Employment conditions

Scientific university degree (M.Sc. or equivalent) in Physics or Computer Science PhD degree is expected or should be obtained prior to employment Expert knowledge in quantum computing High level of personal motivation, responsibility and continuous learning abilities Pronounced communication and team building capabilities Openness to work in a diverse, international working environment Very good knowledge of the English (and possibly German) language Physical ability to perform research in partner labs at various locations when necessary

Leibniz University Hannover considers itself a family-friendly university and therefore promotes a balance between work and family responsibilities. Part-time employment can be arranged upon request.

The university aims to promote equality between women and men. For this purpose, the university strives to reduce under-representation in areas where a certain gender is under-represented. Women are under-represented in the salary scale of the advertised position. Therefore, qualified women are encouraged to apply. Moreover, we welcome applications from qualified men. Preference will be given to equally-qualified applicants with disabilities.
