Job type:
Your PhD project will be part of an interdisciplinary research project bridging theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.
In the course of this, you will work on
- extending established techniques for quantum circuit representation and manipulation (e.g. diagrammatic methods like ZX-calculus) towards description of quantum noise
- employ such extended methods for quantum circuit compilation, optimization and error mitigation
- collaborate with theoretical computer scientists on developing noise-aware quantum programming paradigms
Your profile
- Master in physics, computer science or comparable fields
- Good knowledge of quantum theory, ideally quantum information theory
- Organizational and communication skills
- Ability to work independently in interdisciplinary teams
- Good written and spoken English language skills
- Ideally good German language skills, both written and spoken
- Ideally experience in software development
