The employment is initially limited to three years and is based on the legal regulations of the WissZeitVG.

Your duties and responsibilities are:

- Complexity-theoretical analysis of boson sampling-like experiments.
- Development of quantum algorithms using boson sampling for practical applications
- Development and analysis of theoretical frameworks for universal quantum computing based on quantum photonics

Hiring requirements:

- Completed PhD in computer science, mathematics or physics or comparable qualification
It is expected that the applicant has experience in at least one of the following areas:

- Quantum algorithms
- Quantum complexity
- Theoretical quantum photonics
- Quantum information theory

Since Paderborn University seeks to increase the number of female scientists, applications of women are especially welcome.
