Postdoctoral Researcher in Quantum Computing for Quantum Scattering in Plasmas | Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States | Los Alamos National Laboratory

Position:	Postdoctoral Researcher in Quantum Computing for Quantum Scattering in Plasmas
Institution:	Los Alamos National Laboratory
Location:	Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States
Duties:	The focus of the project is to develop quantum computing algorithms for quantum scattering in atomic and molecular systems that are expected in a fusion energy system, and demonstrate the schemes in current quantum computers. Candidates with background in (1) quantum scattering theory and computation, particularly in atomic and molecular physics, and quantum chemistry; and/or (2) quantum computing, are preferred. Fusion energy science background is desirable but not required. The selected candidates are expected to work with a team of fusion energy scientists, atomic physicists, and quantum computing scientists. The initial appointment is for two years, with a possible third year extension depending on performance and funding availability
Requirements:	Completion of a Ph.D. in STEM field within the last five years or expected completion within the current academic year. Demonstrated expertise in one or more areas of quantum computing, atomic/molecular physics, quantum chemistry, and quantum scattering broadly defined
