Your responsibility

As part of a research project in the field of quantum computing, novel techniques and quantum algorithms are to be developed and analyzed for classical and cryptographic optimization problems. The focus is on investigating lattice problems and specific SAT instances, particularly with regard to structural properties that can be exploited by quantum: algorithms. Approaches such as the Quantum Fourier Transform and Decoded Quantum Interferometry will be employed to identify potential quantum advantages. Additionally, the (quantum query) compiexity of the algorithms will be assessed for various parameterized classes of instances. The project also aims to explore the practical implications of the findings for real-world application scenarios.

Your profile

  • Successfully completed academic degree (Master, Diplom, or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Outstanding initial academic achievements (e.g., publications)
  • Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
  • Enthusiasm for cutting-edge research, creativity, and ability to work in a team desirable
