Commitment & contract: collaboration contract, 17 months  Location: CLN2S Sapienza, Viale Regina Elena 291, 00161 Rome ABOUT US At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarters are strictly interconnected with the other 11 centers around Italy and two outstations based in the US. We promote excellence in basic and applied research such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, nanotechnology, materials for a truly multidisciplinary scientific experience. YOUR TEAM You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where computational scientists, physicists, chemists, mechanical and electrical engineers, biologists and biotechnologists collaborate, to carry out a scientific activity centered around a common research goal. The Multiscale and Quantum Simulations Research Line is coordinated by Sauro Succi, who has extensive experience in computational physics, with special emphasis on complex states of flowing matter and lately quantum computing for fluids as well. The research focuses on computational modeling of complex fluid systems, including soft flowing matter, relativistic fluids and lately also quantum computing models for fluid flows. Your main responsibilities will be: ·         Develop a quantum computing algorithm and corresponding quantum circuit for the simulation of fluid flows ·         Test the algorithn on classical computers and run them on quantum computers This open position is financed within the EPNRRCN1 CN HPC project. Progetto “National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing”, CUP J33C22001180001, ammesso a finanziamento dal MUR con Decreto Direttoriale di concessione delle agevolazioni n. 1031 del 17 giugno 2022, in risposta all’Avviso N. 3138 del 16/12/2021 che dà attuazione all’Investimento 1.4 - “Potenziamento strutture di ricerca e creazione di "campioni nazionali di R&S" su alcune Key Enabling Technologies” – nell’ambito della Missione 4 “Istruzione e ricerca”, Componente 2 “Dalla ricerca all’impresa” del Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza.
