Applications are invited for ONE position of PhD Scholar on the project, “Development of algorithms for simulating strongly correlated systems on hybrid classical-quantum architectures.” under the supervision of Prof. Indrakshi Raychowdhury (Department of Physics), Prof. Kunal Korgaonkar (Department of CSIS) and Prof. Himadri Mukherjee (Department of Mathematics).
Deserving candidates check the eligibility criteria and qualification process of the PhD program of BITS Pilani (http://www.bitsadmission.com/phmain.aspx).
Scope of work | Essential Qualification | Desirable Qualification |
Interdisciplinary work in the regime of quantum technology at the Center for Research in Quantum Information and Technology (CRQIT). The project aims to understand the physics of strongly correlated systems using emergent technology. It involves developing classical optimization algorithms, developing algorithms to implement on quantum architecture, and benchmarking algorithms via CPU/GPU-based classical computation. | MSc (with at least 60% marks) in physics with a strong interest in theoretical physics. Candidates with MSc in mathematics may also apply. | Knowledge in programming using C/C++/python. Interest and expertise in linear algebra, representation theory and other mathematical topics. Experience of working in a research project with some output/publication. |
Fellowship: ₹37,000 - ₹42,000 per month (based on the year of PhD and performance)
Duration: As per BITS Pilani norms (http://www.bitsadmission.com/phmain.aspx)
Place of work: BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, Goa, India
