Postdoc position in quantum algorithms on near-term devices at the University of Rhode Island
The research group of Prof. Wenchao Ge (https://sites.google.com/view/wenchaoge) in the Department of Physics at the University of Rhode Island invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in theoretical quantum information science and engineering (QISE). The successful candidate will conduct theoretical research in hybrid quantum-classical algorithms on near-term quantum devices supported by National Science Foundations through the NSF ExpandQISE program (https://new.nsf.gov/news/quantum-science-engineering-expands-across-nati...). Topics of interest include but are not limited to, quantum entanglement and spin squeezing, quantum approximate optimization algorithms, and benchmarking protocols with different quantum platforms, such as neutral atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting qubits. The successful candidate will also collaborate with Prof. Ilya Safro at the University of Delaware on designing, analyzing, and implementing quantum algorithms.
