Postdoc positions in mathematical quantum information (RIKEN, Japan)

The newly established Mathematical Quantum Information research team at RIKEN is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers for a period of 2 years each. The positions can begin as soon as possible.

The successful candidates will work on the project “Foundations of quantum resources: mathematical theory for the structure and applications of quantum phenomena“, which is a broad and open-ended investigation of the mathematical foundations of quantum information, and will offer a large degree of flexibility.

Topics of particular interest include: quantum resource theories, theory of entanglement, classical and quantum Shannon theory, convex optimisation problems in quantum information, quantum foundations.
