The UBC Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute http://qmi.ubc.ca invites applications for a total of five highly motivated postdoctoral fellows, four in theory and one in experiment, to support activity in the study of quantum computation in the NISQ era. SBQMI has just launched the Grand Challenge entitled “Pushing the boundaries of noisy intermediate scale quantum computing’’, a program geared towards the study of quantum algorithms that can be run on present-day and near future quantum computing devices. The initial focus is on quantum algorithms that require up to 100 qubits and 10,000 quantum gates. As for applications, of particular interest are problems in quantum material science, and fermionic systems such as the fermionic Hubbard model and Kondo physics. From the perspective of methods, machine learning, quantum simulation (analog and digital) and symmetry analysis (e.g. symmetry protected topological order) are emphasized.
