Job description

Offer DescriptionThe Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) invites applications for one postdoctoral fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the project “Towards a useful Quantum Advantage” TouQan ( ) , financed by the National Science Center (NCN), registration No. 2023/05/Y/ST2/00140 (ERA-NET Cofund QuantERA II).PI of the project is dr hab. Michał Oszmaniec.The project is carried on in a dynamic, mixed theoretical consortium, which, apart from CFT PAN, includes Instituto de Fisica Teorica UAM (Madrid), Universität Tübingen, Hamburg University, and Centre Inria Lyon.The TouQan project aims to advance the theoretical understanding of quantum simulators, experimental devices capable of reproducing complex quantum systems with high controllability. By rigorously examining the range of physical problems that can be reliably simulated by classical and quantum methods, TouQan seeks to clarify the computational power of quantum simulators, particularly in the context of quantum advantage-where quantum devices outperform classical counterparts. The project emphasizes innovative approaches to estimating simulation costs, addressing the impact of hardware noise, and uncovering the fundamental limits of both classical and quantum simulation, building on recent developments in the field of near term quantum computing . This will provide a deeper theoretical foundation for assessing the capabilities of near-term and future quantum simulators, bridging critical gaps in our understanding of their computational potential.As part of the project, there is an opportunity to work with the IBM Quantum Computer.The position offered is for a period of one year with the possibility of extension, up to a maximum total duration of 28 months. The earliest date of starting work is March 2025. The salary is PLN 12564/month gross (approx. PLN 9600/month net).Where to apply E-mail[email protected]RequirementsResearch Field Physics » Mathematical physics Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Physics » Other Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsWe are seeking a candidate with a recognized doctoral degree obtained no earlier than January 1, 2018. Eligible candidates must have earned their doctoral degree either in the year of employment in the project or within seven years prior to January 1 of the year of employment in the project.This seven-year period may be extended by the duration of any documented long-term (over 90 days) sick leave or rehabilitation benefits taken during this time due to incapacity for work. Additionally, it may be further extended by the number of months spent on parental or childcare leave granted in accordance with the rules specified in the Labor Code. For women, the period may also be extended by 18 months for each child born or adopted if this method of accounting for career breaks is more advantageous.This is in line with the guidelines outlined in the Annex to the terms and conditions and the regulations for awarding funds for tasks financed or co-financed in international competitions organized by the National Science Centre in multilateral cooperation under UNISONO, as adopted by NCN Council Resolution No. 28/2022 of March 2, 2022 ( ).We are looking for a candidate with strong expertise in the fields of quantum computing, quantum information theory, and mathematical physics. Basic knowledge of quantum computational supremacy theory and probability in high-dimensional spaces will be an additional asset.Specific RequirementsThe application should include: * The scientific CV, including publication list, participation in research projects and conferences (with the clause “I consent to the processing of my personal data necessary for the recruitment process in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR).”

• Signed RODO clause.
• Motivation letter, with a brief description of the Candidate’s scientific interests and future research plans.
• A copy of the PhD diploma, or statement from the PhD Advisor on the planned date of defense (the PhD should be awarded before the post-doc contract starting date).
• Applicants should also arrange to have two letters of reference separately sent to the email address given below.

The documents should be sent electronically until 2025-02-08 to . In the title of the e-mails please add the reference number: MO/01/2025.
