The Ludwig-Maximililans-Universität München is one of the largest and most renowned universities in Germany embracing a wide diversity of fields. We seek a highly qualified and motivated PhD student (m/f/x) to expand our research in theorethical condensed matter physics.
The research project is closely related to the mission of the excellence cluster Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology and the Munich Quantum Valley. It aims to improve the simulation of strongly correlated systems and employ techniques from many-body theory, artificial intelligence and quantum computing or simulation. The successful candidate will work in a dynamic team of motivated scientists and have access to a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure. For more information see https://www.theorie.physik.uni-muenchen.de/lsschollwoeck/pollet_group/index.html.
Your tasks and responsibilities:
- Studies of quantum spin liquids
- Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of strongly correlated systems
- Many-body physics and quantum computation with Rydberg atoms
- Machine Learning for strongly correlated many-body systems
Your qualifications:
- Master degree in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline
- Excellent programming skills (knowledge of C++ and Python are considered an advantage)
- Strong motivation, curiosity and commitment to scientific escellence
- Excellent communication skills
- Excellent command of the English language
Benefits:
We offer an interesting and responsible PhD position which will promote your future scientific career.
