PhD position on quantum simulation of gauge theories

We invite applications for a Ph.D. position on the topic of quantum simulation of gauge theories at the Technical University of Munich.

We look for an ambitious candidate, who will work on quantum simulation of gauge theories, interface with classical Monte Carlo simulations, connection to effective field theories and non-equilibrium physics and related topics.

The position will be associated with the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (https://www.mcqst.de) and is to be filled as soon as possible.

The particle and nuclear theory group at the TUM School of Natural science is led by Prof. N. Brambilla and Prof. A. Vairo. The interests of the group span a wide range of topics in particle physics phenomenology and effective field theories (quarkonium, heavy quarks, precise calculation of SM parameters, strongly interacting systems), physics of the early Universe (dark matter, leptogenesis), physics of heavy ion collisions (quarkonium and jet suppression) and non-equilibrium physics. We deal both with perturbative techniques (high order loop calculations) and nonperturbative methods (lattice QCD) and connections to Quantum Information.

Applicants should submit the following information:
– CV
– Scores in the Bachelors and Masters
– Master thesis
– Motivation letter
– At least one letter of recommendation
The application material should be send directly to nora.brambilla@ph.tum.de.
