Job description

Research assistant in “Specialist in applications of Riemannian optimization to quantum computing”

The Nanyang Quantum Solutions team led by Prof. Marek Gluza at NTU Singapore is seeking a new member to propose new quantum algorithmic solutions based on Riemannian geometry.

With whom? With Prof. Marek Gluza at NTU Singapore who is eager to debate with you whether double-bracket quantum algorithms or a different approach are the right one when executing on Helios or Heron. The research group is being formed and see https://marekgluza.github.io/ for the intended culture centered on the idea of serving experimental efforts through theoretical support developing quantum middleware solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Use analytical techniques of Riemannian optimization to analyze the performance of quantum algorithms derived, e.g. from double-bracket flows.


• Propose new quantum algorithms and new proof techniques.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, computer science or related field


• At least 1 years of relevant experiences in research on quantum algorithms, e.g. final year project


• Excellent written and oral communication skills


• Proficiency in Riemannian geometry and quantum computing


• Ability to work independently, develop solutions under strict timelines, meticulous and eye for details, excellent organizational and time management skills.
