Offer Description

Conventional supercomputers seem to be outpaced by ever increasing demand for computational power when developing new drugs, modeling nanoparticles or assessing problems in materials science and nuclear physics. Quantum computers are expected to provide exponentially growing power thanks to their use of quantum effects and indications of so-called quantum advantage have been demonstrated. Unfortunately, the current capabilities of quantum computers are still rather limited by numerous issues. Precisely because of them, the quantum computing performed nowadays is described as the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era.

We seek for a candidate that will be resposible for developing theoretical concepts of utilization of NISQ cuantum computers, as well as application of the on quantum computers available online. He or she will cooperate with PhD students and other members of the group.
