PhD positions are available in the Research Group "Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Physics", led by Norbert Schuch, at the University of Vienna.
Topics of interest cover the whole range from quantum information and computation to quantum many-body physics, with a focus on tensor networks and related methods.
Research topics covered in the group include:
- Theory of Tensor Networks, classification of phases
- Simulation methods for quantum many-body systems,
- Tensor Network algorithms
- Topological order, spin liquids
- Quantum Algorithms (in particular for NISQ devices and for the simulation of many-body problems)
- Entanglement Theory
- Mathematical structure of quantum many-body systems
- Quantum Complexity Theory
More information on the group and topics can be found at https://schuch.univie.ac.at/
Successful candidates will be associated either with the Department of Physics or the Department of Mathematics, depending on their background and interests, and become members of the corresponding doctoral schools (https://vds-physics.univie.ac.at/ and https://www.vsmath.at/).
