Computation group (https://quantique.labri.fr) at the CS department of the
University of Bordeaux (France).
We seek candidates that are interested in research on quantum information,
quantum algorithms and mathematical optimization. Specific topics they can
expect to work on are:
* (With Felix Huber) Mathematical optimization in quantum information and
computation:
- approximation algorithms for quantum ground state problems
- characterization of quantum communication capacities and quantum error
correcting codes
- characterization of entanglement and nonlocality
- applications of machine learning to optimization
* (With Yassine Hamoudi) Quantum algorithms for MCMC and optimization
methods:
- quantum speedups for algorithmic convex geometry
- discrete-time quantum walks
- algorithms and lower bounds in query complexity
Candidates can have training or experience in at least one of the following
areas: quantum information and computation, mathematical programming,
algorithmic theory, complexity theory.
The group has full funding available for one PhD (36 months, net income of
about 1700€ + optional 150€/month with teaching service) and two Postdoc
positions (24 months, net income ranging 2100-2500€ depending on the
candidate experience). Both positions profit from French social security
and employee benefits (health insurance, public transport expenses, paid
leave...).
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, and promote a friendly, safe,
and supporting team work environment.
Applicants shall contact the group member (
https://quantique.labri.fr/members/) that best fits their interests by
email, with copy to yassine.hamoudi@labri.fr and felix.huber@labri.fr and
the following information: a CV, a short cover letter, a transcript of
records (for PhD applicants) or list of publications (for postdoctoral
applicants), and the names and email addresses of one or two referees.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with the aim to respond
within one month.
