Research Assistant Entanglement-Assisted Network Development

10.01.2023, Wissenschaftliches Personal

We are looking for a full-time (TVL-E13) research assistant on the topic of Entanglement-Assisted Network Development, who is to work in close collaboration with an experimental group. Tasks include the development of modules to enable large-scale network simulations, which requires both a very good theoretical understanding and interest in efficient programming. Contributions to theoretical modelling of the experimental platform are expected.

About us
The research focus of the Theoretical Quantum Systems Design group is on questions that are motivated from practical communication system design and deployment. We develop concepts for near-term quantum communication networks and study quantum communication techniques from the perspective of novel use cases. Our scientific methods are based on quantum information theory, theoretical quantum communication system design and simulations. We develop hardware control methods to accelerate the knowledge exchange between theory and experiment and apply analytical and numerical methods. We encourage interdisciplinary work, especially the col-laboration and contact with research groups focusing on classical system design and experimental research on quantum systems and strengthen the contact to the TUM Entrepreneurship center wherever possible.
Requirements
The position offers the possibility to work on the boundary between theoretical foundations of quantum system design and development of actual prototypes. The ideal candidate brings with them a deep interest in applied mathematics, numerical analysis and simulative study of system performance. Knowledge in continuous-variable quantum systems is beneficial. A master’s degree in engineering, physics or mathematics is expected. We welcome enthusiastic, creative, and curios applicants that enjoy the challenges and unpredictability of interdisciplinary research on the borderline between strict theory and concrete industrial implementation. Openness to changes in directions as well as initiative in formulating research questions and goals and the capability to develop mathematical modules for scientific software and quickly absorb the mathematical models predicting quantum be-havior are expected.
We offer
Payment according to TV-L E13 (also TV-L E14 for post-docs), full employment. Contract duration is initially limited to one year, with the possibility to obtain contract extensions. Earliest starting date is in March 2023. The successful candidate can be enrolled in the graduate program of Technical University of Munich.
Tasks
The successful candidate is to work in close collaboration with an experimental group. Tasks include the develop-ment of modules to enable large-scale network simulations, which requires both a very good theoretical under-standing and interest in efficient programming. Contributions to theoretical modelling of the experimental platform and of potential application scenarios are expected. The Theoretical Quantum Systems Design Group offers courses on quantum networks involving our network simu-lator QuNetSim. Participation in the teaching of the courses is expected. Scientific results will need to written down in publication-ready form and presented at international conferences.
Applications
Applicants please contact Dr. J. Nötzel ([email protected]) for questions, and send their application (including CV, cover letter and name plus email address for two potential referees) with subject “Application to Theoretical Quantum Network Development” to [email protected] until January 31, 2023.
