Context: The advent of quantum computers has rekindled hopes for affordable and accurate solutions to the Schrödinger equation, which governs the electronic properties of physico-chemical systems. In pursuit of this goal, there is increasing interest in developing specific quantum algorithms, particularly those targeting Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. This postdoctoral project is focused on designing quantum algorithms dedicated to the Hubbard model, one of the most utilized qualitative models for describing electron-electron interactions in condensed matter physics. See for instance Phys. Rev. B, 107, 155110, (2023).

Duration and Funding: This is a 15-month postdoctoral position, funded by the "Institut Quantique Occitant" (IQO) and supervised by Matthieu Saubanère (https://www.icgm.fr/matthieu-saubanere/).

Qualifications Required:

• A PhD in Quantum Physics or Chemistry.

• Proficiency in Python programming.

• (Optional) Experience in quantum computing and/or in the methodological development of condensed matter physics.

Start Date: The position is expected to start in march 2024.

Application Submission: Candidates are invited to submit a detailed CV (including references, such as the name and email address of the PhD supervisor) and a cover letter to Matthieu Saubanère at matthieu.saubanere(at)cnrs.fr and/or on the platform https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR5253-MATSAU-004/Default.aspx
