The post-holder(s) will perform cutting-edge academic research on the theory of quantum computation. Areas of particular interest include, but are not restricted to: quantum algorithms and their underpinning mathematics; verification/testing of quantum devices; architectures for quantum computers; applications of quantum computers; quantum computational complexity and Hamiltonian complexity; algorithms for simulation of quantum systems, design of methods for reducing errors in quantum measurements.
Aspects to which the post-holder could contribute, depending on research interests and expertise, include:
- Development of new efficient quantum algorithms or communication protocols for practically relevant computational problems;
- Design of methods for verification/testing of near-term quantum devices;
- Design of techniques for simulation of quantum-mechanical systems using a quantum computer;
- Characterisation of the complexity of problems in many-body quantum physics and quantum information theory;
- Analysis/development of architectures for quantum computers;
- Development of new mathematical tools and underpinning theory, e.g. within quantum query or communication complexity;
- Development of methods for error reduction in quantum measurements for near-term devices, and fundamental studies of quantum measurements.
The post-holder will be expected to have a high degree of autonomy within the overall framework of the project.
A PhD in the theory of quantum computation or quantum information, or otherwise evidence of expertise in this area, is essential, together with a strong record of publications in high-quality international conferences and journals.
We look for candidates to have strong problem-solving skills, the ability to take a primary role in organizing and running research projects, and enthusiasm to work in a multidisciplinary group.
Please note this is NOT a direct application for a live vacancy. Instead, you will be entered into a candidate pool for a Research Associate /Senior Research Associate in Quantum Computing Theory position.
We have a policy in place to regularly review our candidate pool to ensure its relevance and efficiency therefore you may be invited to interview or occasionally receive notifications regarding new job openings. We encourage you to stay connected with us and to keep your contact information up to date to ensure that you don't miss out on any potential opportunities.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] .
Contract type: Open Ended
Work pattern: Full time
Grade: I / J
Salary: £37,099 - £41,732 per annum (Grade I) or £41,732 - £46,974 per annum (Grade J)
School/Unit: School of Mathematics
Shift pattern: 35 hours M-F
We recently launched our strategy to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.
The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want to attract, develop, and retain individuals with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives – particularly people of colour, LGBT+ and disabled people - because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our excellence as a global civic institution.
