DLR's Institute of Frontier Materials in Space investigates fundamental physical processes in materials, from the microscopic scale to macroscopic properties, both in model systems for new materials and in applied materials, on Earth and in space. To this end, we combine the development of space flight hardware, experiments on research rockets, parabolic flights and in the drop tower, as well as modelling with theory and simulation on all scales in order to understand the influence of gravity on physical processes.

What To Expect

Simulation of quantum liquids

The understanding of quantum liquids forms a crucial part of the basis for problems in quantum chemistry as well as for quantum machine learning. To this end, predictions shall be made in analytical and semi-analytical calculations, which will then be tested with numerical calculations. In particular, it will be investigated how transitions from liquids and melts to crystalline and amorphous solids take place and how classical and quantum mechanical applications differ.

Your tasks

• Use of conventional and quantum computer-based simulations for calculations of classical interactions
• Use of numerical and theoretical methods for the determination of quantum mechanical structures
• Analysis of the results and publication in conference papers and scientific articles

Your profile

• Completed scientific university degree (Master / Diploma Uni) in natural sciences (e.g. physics or mathematics) or engineering (e.g. in the field of materials science) or other degree programmes relevant to the position.
• A doctorate in one of the above-mentioned fields or in a similar field is desirable.
• Initial experience in at least one of the following research areas: atomistic material simulation, multiscale simulation, electron structure theory, solid state theory, quantum information theory, development of quantum algorithms, use of quantum computing to solve materials science optimisation problems

We look forward to getting to know you!
