2 positions - Research Assistant

Research within a project primarily aimed at formulating new "quantum advantages": The goal is to identify and theoretically prove quantum computing algorithms with runtime advantages compared to classical algorithms.

A central focus will be on quantum-based acceleration of solvers for optimization problem classes such as SAT and ILP, as well as quantum optimization algorithms based on novel frameworks such as "Decoded Quantum Interferometry" and "Quantum Hamiltonian Descent." The theoretical results will subsequently be adapted for practical applications in the fields of cryptography and chip design. The opportunity to pursue a doctorate is available.

• Successfully completed univerty degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics or a related field
• Outstanding initial scientific achievements (e.g., publications)
• Good language skills in German and/or English are required; willingness to acquire all missing language skills
• Advanced knowledge in quantum computing and/or optimization algorithms (e.g., for SAT) desirable
• Passion for cutting-edge research, creativity, and ability to work in a team desirable
