We are an interdisciplinary group of academic and industrial experts from the mentioned fields, located in Germany (Braunschweig, Hannover, Cologne, Bochum) and Austria (Linz). We have successfully formed a consortium that aims at putting “Computing” into “Quantum Computing”, in the course of two related projects. In the project QuBRA, we will evaluate quantum algorithms against best-in-class classical optimization methods and identify the quantum advantage regime. In ProvideQ, we will develop new methods for embedding novel quantum algorithms into frameworks of classical optimization.
Our goal is to recruit a closely-knit multidisciplinary team of up to 20 researchers across physics, mathematics, and computer science for at least three years from 2022. We value creativity, mathematical rigor, and openness to interdisciplinary collaborations.
Positions to be filled include:
• Machine learning (CS) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, advised by Avishek Anand
• Algorithm Engineering (CS) at TU Braunschweig, advised by Sándor Fekete
• Quantum Algorithms (Physics) at University of Cologne, advised by David Gross
• Quantum Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (Computer Science) at JKU Linz, advised
