PhD on Mathematical Optimization in Quantum Information
U. Gdańsk | Gdańsk
Classification: Control Theory and Optimization
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 QIT - 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 a MSc in Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science. The ideal candidate took courses or did projects on quantum information and computation, mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, or coding theory. 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. 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 If you have any questions about the position please don't hesitate to contact me at the email address above.
