We are seeking to hire two PhD students with interest in quantum information and mathematical optimization. The successful candidates will work closely with Felix Huber (https://huberfe.github.io/) at the Division of Quantum Computing of the University of Gdańsk.
Possible research topics are:
approximation algorithms in quantum information theory
symmetry- and size reduction of polynomial optimization problems
characterization of quantum codes and quantum capacities
characterization of quantum correlations, entanglement, nonlocality
machine learning for optimization problems
Candidates should have training or experience in the following areas: physics, mathematics, informatics. The ideal candidate took courses on quantum information and computation, mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, or coding theory. We appreciate a proactive personality with a good ability for cooperation, a methodological way of working, and proficiency in English. Programming experience (Python/Julia, Sage, GAP, semidefinite programming) is a plus.
The positions are offered for 4 years, with a stipend of approx. 5000 PLN net + 3466 PLN gross (5000 PLN net + 5340 PLN gross after successful midterm evaluation) and travel funding. The positions includes Polish social security coverage, including health insurance.
How to apply
Applicants can send their applications (CV, names + email of two references, copy or link to MSc thesis, a motivation/cover letter is strongly encouraged, signed data processing statement) with subject “NCN PhD” to: felix.huber@ug.edu.pl
