[Job-offers-cs] Faculty position on Numerical Methods for Quantum Computing at KU Leuven

[Pekka Orponen]

The Science, Engineering, and Technology Group of KU Leuven invites 
applications for a*full time research professorship* in the research 
unit Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (NUMA). The research in 
NUMA covers many aspects of computational mathematics, including 
approximation theory, numerical integration, numerical (multi-) linear 
algebra, numerical partial differential equations, uncertainty 
quantification, optimization and control, discrete optimization and 
scheduling, and high-performance computing. The research unit also 
performs research in collaboration with industry. The new position aims 
to strengthen the experience of NUMA, in the domain of quantum computing.

Quantum computing is a novel computing paradigm relying on fundamental 
properties of quantum physics. It features new core building blocks that 
can lead to exponential speedups relative to traditional computing. This 
requires a fundamental shift in the design of numerical algorithms and 
their optimized mapping to available quantum circuits. Candidates are 
expected to have already obtained excellent research results within the 
research field of design, analysis, development, and implementation of 
new quantum algorithms for numerical computing.

The successful candidate is expected to develop a research program on 
numerical methods for quantum computing, ensure high-quality education 
within the area of mathematical engineering, and be prepared to provide 
scientific and administrative services.
