Spin systems are an intriguing breeding ground for exotic and topological quasiparticle excitations like anyons and quantum skyrmions. This project utilizes artificial neural networks to simulate the dynamics of topological excitations in spin systems and aims to find fast-time-scale coherent control of these quasiparticles, which has previously only been demonstrated on an adiabatic, i.e., infinitely slow, time scale. The project connects dynamics, topological excitations, and quantum machine learning as its three key aspects.

Your will be part of the research group on “Topology in Condensed Matter Systems” at the I. Institute of Theoretical Physics at University of Hamburg, see .

Relevant literature:

Your responsibilities in the project furthermore include:

conduct cutting-edge research in machine learning algorithms applied to quantum systems, focusing on anyonic excitations and spin systems and being an active member in the group engage in collaborative research with team members from University of Hamburg and its international partners publish findings in scientific journals and present at international conferences contribute to the machine learning task force within the cluster of excellence ‚CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter’ another specific duty is teaching of four hours per week during teaching times (4 LVS) in the period from as soon as possible until 12/31/2025

Your profile

A university degree in a relevant field.

a PhD in a relevant field is desirable or a strong record in scientific work equivalent to a PhD degree (having handed in the dissertation at least) fluency in English proven track record of publications in relevant fields, especially quantum spin systems, quantum spin liquids or related areas initial experience in machine learning strong analytical and numerical problem-solving skills enthusiasm for international interdisciplinary research and collaboration

We offer

Reliable remuneration based on wage agreements Continuing education opportunities University pensions Attractive location Flexible working hours Work-life balance opportunities Health management Educational leave 30 days of vacation per annum
