Subject: Research Assistant / Post-Doctorate Researcher - Quantum Computing
Theory [Galway, Ireland]



Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time,
fixed term position as a Research Assistant or Post-Doctorate Researcher
with the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics at the
National University of Ireland, Galway. Closing date for receipt of
applications is 5.00 pm, Monday 18th March 2019.

The goal of this project is a theoretical investigation of Noisy
Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) Computers
(https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2018-08-06-79).  The successful candidate will,
depending on the strengths and preferences of the applicant, contribute to
some, or all, of the duties below.

Duties:

    ·         Developing theoretical techniques for simulation of quantum
circuits using, for example, stabilizer-based simulators or tensor-network
based simulators.
    ·         Writing a high-performance software implementation (e.g. in
Python) of simulation, compilation and/or optimization techniques.
    ·         Designing and implementing/simulating error-correction,
fault-tolerance and compilation schemes that incorporate information about
real-world devices viz. connectivity and noise types/rates.
    ·         Contribute to research outputs of the group (publications,
software)
