Research Associate (Theoretical Quantum Computing using Cold Atoms) Full-time

Research Associate in Specialist in Theoretical Quantum Computing Using Cold Atoms

The Nanyang Quantum Solutions team led by Prof. Marek Gluza at NTU Singapore is seeking a new member to propose new quantum algorithmic solutions based on Riemannian geometry.

With whom? With Prof. Marek Gluza at NTU Singapore who is eager to debate with you whether double-bracket quantum algorithms or a different approach are the right one when executing on Helios or Heron. The research group is being formed and see for the intended culture centered on the idea of serving experimental efforts through theoretical support developing quantum middleware solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide theoretical modelling of proof of principle protocols in experiments using cold atoms of the National Quantum Processor Initiative as part of Singapore's National Quantum Strategy.
• Propose new quantum protocols and build experimental capacity for realizing them.
• Provide extensive analysis and data visualization guiding experimental realization.
• Bridge between theory and experiments; serve experimentalists by providing theoretical physics support.

Job Requirements:

• Master's degree in mathematics, physics, computer science or related field
• At least 1 years of relevant experiences in research on quantum algorithms, e.g. final year project or industry experience in relevant field
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Proficiency in programming and strong Github portfolio
• Ability to work independently, develop solutions under strict timelines, meticulous and eye for details, excellent organizational and time management skills.
