The position will be in the group of Prof. Robert Raußendorf and under the leadership of Martin Plávala. You will be working on using machine learning to construct verifiable witnesses of entanglement and quantum nonlocality. The goal of the project is to construct such witnesses in high-dimensional cases where other methods fail due to a lack of computational resources. The applications will include witnessing entanglement of quantum states, witnessing high-dimensional steering, and witnessing nonlocality in Bell scenarios and quantum networks.

The ideal candidate should have background in linear algebra and interest in quantum information, previous experience in machine learning and deep neural networks is welcome. The project will involve mainly developing and testing various machine learning models, the necessary mathematical calculations will likely involve only undergraduate level linear algebra and quantum information and relevant numerical methods. Thus all candidates should have interest in programming and numerical mathematics.

Interested applications should send the application and supporting documents (Cover letter, CV, list of publications, two selected publications, description of research interests, 3 reviewers) to martin.plavala@itp.uni-hannover.de.

Application deadline: 4.5.2025
