Applied Quantum Algorithms Research Fellow

National University of Singapore; Singapore; On-site; SGD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore seeks a talented Quantum Algorithms Researcher to develop and apply quantum and quantum‑inspired algorithms to high‑dimensional problems. The role sits at the intersection of advanced quantum research and industrial application, demanding deep theory and impact‑driven execution.

Responsibilities include designing benchmarks for PDE solvers, applying tensor network methods to complex systems, and advancing error

Qualifications

• PhD (completed or near completion) in Physics, Quantum Information, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
• Strong background in theoretical physics, quantum simulation, and open quantum systems.
• Proven track record of peer‑reviewed publications in quantum algorithms or tensor networks.
• Proficiency in Python and scientific computing tools; experience with HPC (e.g., Slurm) and version control (GitHub).

Responsibilities

• Design and benchmark quantum and quantum‑inspired algorithms for high‑dimensional problems (PDE solvers, optimization, quantum simulation).
• Apply tensor network methods to complex classical systems (CFD, turbulence, traffic, option pricing).
• Research and implement error mitigation and correction schemes for near‑term quantum hardware.
• Benchmark quantum vs classical algorithms to assess practical potential of quantum technologies.
• Collaborate with industry on applied projects (portfolio optimization, energy simulation).
• Communicate results to diverse audiences and publish in peer‑reviewed venues.
