Postdoctoral Researcher in Designer Quantum Materials, Ultraquantum Matter, and Non-Abelian Anyons

Mission

We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated candidate for a postdoctoral position focused on implementing numerical simulations for designing novel quantum systems hosting of Fractional Chern Insulators (FCIs) and related physics of non-abelian anyons, relevant to topological quantum computing.
This position is funded by the Swiss Quantum Initiative through the SNSF project Quantum Materials and Entangled Phases for Topological Quantum Computing , lead by Dr. Alexander Kruchkov. It lies at the interface of quantum materials by design, emergent phenomena in ultraquantum matter, and AI-enhanced quantum simulation.

A successful candidate will have significant freedom to propose and evaluate the feasibility of novel approaches.

Main duties and responsibilities

• Conduct research projects and contribute to the design of new materials and models of FCIs and related topics.
• Develop and advan...
