We are offering multiple PhD positions to well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a stimulating environment. The successful candidates will be joining the group led by Christian Schilling. The research of our group is concerned with the interface of Quantum Chemistry and Quantum Information Theory. We resort to analytic approaches partly complemented by computational studies to gain universal insights into molecular quantum systems. A particular emphasis lies on the concept of reduced density matrices and the ground state problem.

Applications are welcomed for the following related long-term research programs:

P1:   Tensor network methods for quantum chemistry

P2:   Foundation of quantum computing: fermionic systems

P3:   Quantum information theory for fermions

P4:   Foundation of functional theories & N-representability problem

The offered positions are related to the cluster of excellence ``Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology’’ https://www.mcqst.de/about/members/christian-schilling.html and are funded through the Munich Quantum Valley https://www.munich-quantum-valley.de/ and the German research foundation https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/414324924?language=en

Application deadline: 31 May 2022

Starting date: flexible
