About the job
The Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC, https://cquic.unm.edu/) as part of Quantum New Mexico Institute (QNM-I) at the University of New Mexico invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in theoretical quantum information science (QIS) as part of the National Science Foundationâs Focused Research Hub in Theoretical Physics (FRHTP). The QNM-I is an interdisciplinary QIS research center, with participating faculty from physics & astronomy, chemistry, electrical & computer engineering, computer science. The research at the QNM-I covers a broad range of foundational and applied investigations on topics including quantum computation, control, measurement, communication, and simulation. The QNM-I is an active participant in several multi-institutional centers, launched under the National Quantum Initiative (NQI), including the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute, âQuantum Systems through Entangled Science and Engineeringâ (Q-SEnSE), and the DOE âQuantum Systems Acceleratorâ (QSA). As a QIS theory-hub, CQuIC brings together community through hosting visitors, seminars, hot-topics workshops, and as the scientific home of the well-known Southwest Quantum Information and Technology (SQuInT) network.
FRHTP Postdoctoral Fellows will have the opportunity to pursue independent lines of research, to work with QNM-I faculty members, and to interact with leading researchers at the QNM-Iâs partner institutions, including nearby Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, industrial partner Honeywell Quantum Solutions, and collaborators at the Q-SEnSE and QSA NQI Centers. Fellows also participate in CQuICâs theory-hub activities, including hot-topics workshops and SQuInT.
