Dear Colleagues,

the DLR facility "Simulation and Software Technology", Cologne, is seeking a PhD candidate (f/m) to carry out research in the field of quantum computing.

The research aims at investigating in adiabatic quantum computing technology for its possible potential to solve real-world problems. We would like to examine for what kind of problems adiabatic quantum computers could be superior to classical computers. In particular we focus on scheduling and planning problems. Furthermore, path-integral quantum Monte Carlo simulations need to be implemented to simulate the solution of such problems.

The successful candidate will have access to a D-Wave adiabatic quantum computer. A research stay at the Quantum Computing group at NASA-Ames is possible.

Applicants must hold a master's degree or diploma in physics, mathematics or computational science. A basic understanding of the fundamentals in quantum mechanics is required.


The successful candidate will be paid according to TVöD E13 (50%). The working language is German or English. He/she will work in the High Performance Computing department. The position is funded for three years with a possibility of extension.


Applications should include a cover letter, CV, Diploma, transcript of records and contact details of two references. Please send your application (and any inquiries) via e-mail to Dr. Achim Basermann (Achim.Basermann at dlr.de<mailto:Achim.Basermann at dlr.de>) by October 7, 2016.
