Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Chemistry: Development of quantum algorithms for applications in photochemistry and catalysis

Your function

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position to develop quantum algorithms to study electron dynamics in photochemistry and spectroscopy. This research is part of our long-term collaboration with the QuSoft Research Center, where we focus on the development of novel quantum algorithms for chemical applications. In this project you will work on simulating strong perturbations of initially relatively simple electronic wave functions using quantum algorithms. The methods to be developed concern multi-state molecular dynamics and real-time electron dynamics. Proof-of-principle applications will focus on use cases in photochemistry and catalysis. The project combines theoretical work, algorithm development, and implementation into a hybrid (in terms of targeted com...
