2 positions - Research Assistant - 0.75 working time - salary grade 13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen

Research on the topic of “Quantum control and simulation of topologically-ordered quantum matter” in the DFG-funded Emmy Noether Junior Research Group, which will be established on 01/04/2025 at the Institute of Theoretical Physics under the direction of Dr. Francesco Petiziol.

Research topics include:

• Study of topological quantum systems out of equilibrium (e.g., periodically-driven)
• Development of control protocols to prepare and manipulate topologically ordered states in quantum simulators
• Development of reservoir engineering techniques for many-body state preparation
• Design of autonomous topological quantum memories

There is the possibility of a doctorate.

For further information please contact Dr. Francesco Petiziol (f.petiziol@tu-berlin.de).

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in physics or a related discipline (or completion by the start of the employment contract)
• Excellent knowledge in theoretical quantum physics; strong background in one or more fields related to the research topics, such as quantum many-body theory, quantum control, quantum simulation, synthetic quantum systems, open quantum systems
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Desirable:

• Experience in numerically simulating quantum systems
• High level of commitment and desire to lead a project
