Job Description
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct research in quantum computing applied to nuclear structure and reaction theory. You will participate in innovative research developing state of the art quantum many-body simulations, executing those simulations on quantum platforms, and modeling those simulations on world leading high-performance computing (HPC) systems. While focus is on developing hardware-informed digital / analog simulations of nuclear systems, the interest spans the full scope of theory and development needed to simulate any many-body fermionic system. This position is in the Nuclear Data and Theory group of the Nuclear and Chemical Sciences Division.
You will
- Conduct innovative research in quantum computing simulations as they apply to many-body fermionic systems.
- Connect approaches in formal scattering / reaction theory to quantum algorithms realizable on near term hardware.
- Design and carry out simulations on DOE quantum testbeds and accessible commercial platforms, and model / benchmark those simulations on LLNL HPC systems.
- Engage in collaborations between the Nuclear Data and Theory group, internal (LLNL), and external collaborators.
- Pursue complementary research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to the Laboratory.
- Present research results at scientific conferences and meetings and in peer reviewed publications.
- Contribute to proposal submissions.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
