Dear colleague,
I would be grateful if you could bring the attached advertisement
for PhD positions in theoretical Quantum Information and Quantum
Many-Body Physics at the University of Vienna to the attention of
suitable candidates.
Best wishes,
Norbert Schuch
================================================================
PhD positions are available in the Research Group "Quantum
Information and Quantum Many-Body Physics", led by Norbert Schuch,
at the University of Vienna.
Topics of interest cover the whole range from quantum information
and computation to quantum many-body physics, with a focus on tensor
networks and related methods.
Research topics covered in the group include:
* Theory of Tensor Networks, classification of phases
* Simulation methods for quantum many-body systems,
Tensor Network algorithms
* Topological order, spin liquids
* Quantum Algorithms (in particular for NISQ devices
and for the simulation of many-body problems)
* Entanglement Theory
* Mathematical structure of quantum many-body systems
* Quantum Complexity Theory
More information on the group and topics can be found at
https://schuch.univie.ac.at/
Successful candidates will be associated either with the Department
of Physics or the Department of Mathematics, depending on their
background and interests, and become members of the corresponding
doctoral schools (
https://vds-physics.univie.ac.at/
and
https://www.vsmath.at/).
Applications should be emailed to
schuch-office.quantum@univie.ac.at,
Subject: "PhD Application", and contain a CV (including certificates &
grades from bachelor and master studies), a brief cover letter
(max. 1 page), explaining the motivation for joining the group,
and the contact data of two referees who can provide a letter of
recommendation upon request, preferably all in one PDF file.
Deadline for initial consideration is May 10th, 2021, but later
applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
