Postdoctoral Fellow in digital-analog quantum simulation and quantum many-body physics
PSI Laboratory for Energy Systems Analysis (LEA)
Job Description
The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting‑edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post‑docs, post‑graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2,300 people.
The position concerns the theory of digital‑analog quantum simulation — developing methods that extend the capabilities of programmable analog platforms using ideas from quantum computation, quantum algorithms, learning, and error mitigation. Possible directions include benchmarking quantum gates and gate primitives, developing quantum algorithms for many‑body simulation, designing probing and learning ...
