We offer a full postdoctoral position and a PhD position on mathematical quantum information theory. We have a long standing track record in this field of research. Possible topics are notions of

• computational and Hamiltonian complexity, 
• quantum computational models,
• quantum simulation schemes,
• near-term quantum computing,
• randomness, unitary designs and random circuits,
• group and representation theory, and
• quantum-assisted machine learning and abstract learnability.

That said, the setting will allow for substantial academic freedom, so that other topics can also be addressed.

The position is initially for either three or five years. It is also connected to a newly established ERC Advanced Grant, and has numerous contact points to projects in the prestigious German quantum hardware programme. The postdoctoral position is on the E13 pay scale, designed for postdoctoral researchers, and all previous work experience including that towards the PhD can be respected when determining the salary scale. The PhD position is on the E13 3/4 pay scale. All job related questions and inquiries should be sent to both jense@physik.fu-berlin.de and applicationsqmio@gmail.com.
