西班牙光子科学研究所(ICFO)2021年招聘博士后职位（量子机器学习和量子人工智能）

Post-Doctoral Position In Quantum Machine Learning And Quantum Artificial Intelligence

The Institute Of Photonic Sciences

Description

Post-doctoral position in quantum machine learning and quantum artificialintelligence

ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.

The successful candidate will be joining the Quantum Optics Theory and Quantum Information Theory groups led by Prof. Dr. MaciejLewenstein and Prof. Dr. Antonio Acín , respectively. The groups have experience in all areas of theoretical physics, but in the context of the present project the relevant are: a) classical statistical physics; b) information theory; c) many body physics, including quantum many body physics; d) numerical methods; e) classical and quantum machine learning; f) classical and quantum artificial intelligence. The project will focus on the development of new hardware and software methods to solve optimization problems.

The successful candidate will carry out their tasks within the joint project Quspin (RTC2019-007196-7). Quspin, one of the projects running in the ICFO- Quside Joint Lab, seeks to develop a hardware-accelerated computer system specialized in the efficient and precise solution of some of the most widespread optimization processes. To achieve this goal, we face the challenge from a dual approach: the development and deployment of QuspinAnnealer, an innovative product to accelerate through specialized hardware systems the execution of tempering or annealing algorithms, and the demonstration of its applicability in multiple combinational optimization problems.
