[DMANET] Postdoc Ad | Bilkent University

Dear Colleagues,

Postdoctoral positions are available in my group for the project
Foundations of quantum computational advantage (https://www.foqacia.org/).
This posting targets candidates with a background in polyhedral
computation, graph theory, and/or quantum computing.
Project: Classical simulation algorithms provide a rigorous approach to
analyzing the computational advantage of quantum computers. The advantage
is achieved if all such classical simulation algorithms fail to simulate
efficiently. Different classical simulation algorithms exist, e.g., based
on stabilizer tableaus, stabilizer rank decompositions, and Wigner
functions. Recently a new algorithm based on polytope theory has been
introduced; see https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01992. This project aims to
study the complexity of the algorithm using polytope-theoretic tools.
Applications are through mathjobs (https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/22256)
with a June 15, 2023 deadline.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best,
Cihan
