AddressApplications are invited for a full-time postdoctoral research position in the Condensed Matter Theory group of the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham, to be supervised by Dr Adam Smith. The successful candidate will be working on the ERC Starting Grant project QUADCOMB “Towards a practical quantum advantage: Confronting the quantum many-body problem using quantum computers”.
Topics include:
- Quantum many-body dynamics
- Quantum algorithms
- Quantum-enhanced numerical methods
- Tensor networks
- Quantum machine learning
- Computational complexity
The main responsibility of the role is to carry out theoretical and/or computational research in quantum Condensed Matter Theory and quantum computation, broadly understood. The successful candidate(s) will also be expected to communicate the outcomes of the research in the form of publications and seminars. They will be an integral part of a team of researchers covering a broad range of theoretical areas including statistical physics, Condensed Matter Theory, computational physics, quantum information, and machine learning. We seek motivated, skilled and highly independent researchers to complement our team.
Candidates should have a doctorate (Ph.D. or equivalent) in physics or mathematics, or be very close to completion. A strong research record in theoretical Condensed Matter physics, quantum computing, or a closely related field is essential.
