Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Postdoctoral positions are available in my group for the project<br>
Foundations of quantum computational advantage
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.foqacia.org/">https://www.foqacia.org/</a>>This posting targets candidates with
a background in polyhedral<br>
computation, graph theory, and/or quantum computing.<br>
Project: Classical simulation algorithms provide a rigorous
approach to<br>
analyzing the computational advantage of quantum computers. The
advantage<br>
is achieved if all such classical simulation algorithms fail to
simulate<br>
efficiently. Different classical simulation algorithms exist,
e.g., based<br>
on stabilizer tableaus, stabilizer rank decompositions, and Wigner<br>
functions. Recently a new algorithm based on polytope theory has
been<br>
introduced; see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01992">https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01992</a> This project aims
to<br>
study the complexity of the algorithm using polytope-theoretic
tools.<br>
Applications are through mathjobs
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/22256">https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/22256</a>>with a June 15, 2023
deadline.<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Cihan<br>
