Postdoctoral Researcher in Quantum Algorithms

The mission of the Institute for Quantum Computing Analytics

(PGI-12) is to model and improve quantum computing systems on multiple levels. From optimal control of the hardware, over error mitigation and compilation, to application specific quantum algorithms. We focus working on interfaces between disciplines in large innovative projects that strive for the development of scalable and useful quantum computers. In a tight integration with quantum computer hardware developers, we investigate the applicability of quantum computers towards real-world applications in a hardware-software co-design paradigm.

Your Job

Within an interdisciplinary research project, you will develop and analyze quantum algorithms, demonstrating and systematically evaluating their applicability on quantum computers. Financial risk modeling serves as a concrete application domain; however, the algorithmic research is the primary focus.
