About this position
The postdoctoral associate will join the research group of Prof. Vito Scarola at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. The project focuses on the construction and optimization of measurement-based quantum computing protocols for the quantum simulation of quantum many-body models.
The role sits within a vibrant research environment and is centered on theoretical work in quantum information and quantum simulation. The successful candidate will work on developing protocols, analyzing their performance, and contributing to the group’s research output through journal publications and conference presentations. The advert also notes opportunities for scientific travel and collaboration with other groups when travel is possible.
The position is closely aligned with methods and ideas from the stabilizer formalism and the theory of quantum graph states, which are highlighted as preferred areas of familiarity. Computational methods may also be useful in supporting the research, though they are not required.
In addition to the postdoctoral role, the advert mentions a senior research associate track connected to the same research area, with added mentoring responsibilities for junior group members.
