Research Assistant in Quantum Computing - Babikov Lab

This project-focused appointment in quantum computing will support the research program of Principal Investigator Dr. Dmitri Babikov. The project will focus on developing a method for modeling quantum dynamics of molecular collision processes for molecular physics research.

• Carry out computational research in Molecular Physics on the development of quantum computing algorithms for the description of rotational state-to-state transitions during inelastic molecular collisions.
• Write and test computer programs using Python, Qiskit, and FORTRAN.
• Conduct research with a growing degree of independence, collaborate with others in the lab, and provide research summaries and reports weekly.
• Meet regularly with the PI to discuss next steps and expectations.

• High school diploma.

• Solid grasp of principles of Quantum Mechanics, Molecular Physics, and Physical Chemistry.
• Background in quantum information (preferable).
• Effective communication and organizational skills.
