Postdoc: Quantum algorithms for plasma physics

Job type: 

Postdoc position at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), to design quantum algorithms (with a numerical or analytical characterization of their performance) for solving plasma physics and fusion-relevant problems on fault-tolerant or near-term quantum platforms. Will work closely with and under the supervision of professors Loureiro and Cappellaro (MIT) and Dr. Hari Krovi (BBN) and collaborate and assist the supervision of graduate students involved in the project.

REQUIREMENTS:

PhD in quantum computing with a knowledge of quantum algorithms, or in theoretical plasma physics.

Applicants should send a cover letter and CV, as well as three references to apply. The CV should contain a list of publications. A statement of research interests is optional.This position is for a one-year term with the possibility of a one-year re-appointment depending on the availability of funds and mutually satisfying performance.
