The research group of Prof. Wenchao Ge
(https://sites.google.com/view/wenchaoge) in the Department of Physics
at the University of Rhode Island invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Research Associate position in theoretical quantum
information science and engineering (QISE). The successful candidate
will conduct theoretical research in hybrid quantum-classical algorithms
on near-term quantum devices supported by National Science Foundations
through the NSF ExpandQISE program
(https://new.nsf.gov/news/quantum-science-engineering-expands-across-nati…).
Topics of interest include but are not limited to, quantum entanglement
and spin squeezing, quantum approximate optimization algorithms, and
benchmarking protocols with different quantum platforms, such as neutral
atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting qubits. The successful
candidate will also collaborate with Prof. Ilya Safro at the University
of Delaware on designing, analyzing, and implementing quantum
algorithms.
