Job description:

The DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies in Ulm aims to develop precision instruments for space applications based on quantum technologies and to bring them to prototype maturity together with industry. It thus builds a bridge between basic research and industry. Together with the Institute for Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing in Hanover and the Galileo Competence Centre in Oberpfaffenhofen, the Institute in Ulm plays a pioneering role in these fields of research and application. The research work of its four core departments Quantum Metrology, Quantum Information and Communication, Quantum Nanophysics and Quantum Control of Charged Matter Waves is complemented and supported by the three cross-sectional departments Quantum Engineering, Integration of Micro- and Nanosystems and Theoretical Quantum Physics. The institute has an interdisciplinary orientation: Theoretical basic research and experimental tests meet engineering implementation.

The Quantum Information and Communication Department investigates questions of quantum information by utilising synergies between theoretical and experimental basic research and develops technological applications in collaboration with industry. Topics include research into quantum computing hardware and software, the realisation of quantum cryptography and global quantum communication, for example on satellites. Research is also being conducted on efficient communication in quantum networks over long distances and at high loss rates.

For the group "Quantum Simulations and Applications" we are looking for a scientist to explore the potential of quantum computers for highly relevant and critical application problems in mobility. In the QCMobility project, you will investigate quantum computing applications for the domains of air transport, road transport, rail transport, maritime transport and intermodal transport in an interdisciplinary cooperation between industrial partners and DLR institutes. You will develop customised quantum algorithms and demonstration problems and implement them on the quantum computing hardware at the DLR Innovation Centres in Ulm and Hamburg. Take on a central role in this highly relevant project in cooperation with the project partners involved. Pave the way for new applications in the field of quantum computing and be part of the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative.

Your contribution to this project includes the following tasks:

• You will conduct research at the interface of quantum computing and mobility with a focus on ground-based transport.
• You will develop mathematical models, design quantum algorithms and implement them on quantum computing hardware.
• You cooperate closely with project partners from other DLR institutes, from the quantum computing initiative and from industry.
• You will document research results in project reports, studies and scientific publications and present them at national and international conferences and seminars.
• You will transfer theoretical concepts and approaches to technological developments and contribute to the usability of the results achieved in the context of technology transfer.
• You contribute to the research activities of the other departments of the QT Institute and other DLR institutes.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
