What You Will Do
This position is open for external candidates only to apply. The Computing and Artificial Intelligence (CAI) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) seeks outstanding candidates to join our vibrant multidisciplinary research team that explores topics in quantum computing, quantum algorithm engineering, AI for quantum algorithm design, and quantum machine learning. Successful candidates will conduct original research that advances the state-of-the-art in quantum simulation through both theoretical and computational activities.
A central goal for this work will be to develop novel analytical tools and new workflows that leverage AI tools and methods to analyze and optimize quantum algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computers. Hamiltonian Simulation will be the central quantum computing paradigm for most of this work, which will require flexibility to learn new concepts from quantum computing application domains.
