Dear members of 'The QUROPE mailing list',


In the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Cologne [1] a 
position for a

 

*PhD student in theoretical physics*

 

is available under the supervision of /Prof. Dr. M. Rizzi/ [2]/,/ within the 
framework of the 

 

*Collaborative Research Center 183 “Entangled States of Matter”* [3].

 

Closing date for applications: *30.11.2020*

 

*About the job:*

In recent years, the understanding of entanglement properties has acquired a 
prominent role in the investigation of condensed-matter systems, and Tensor 
Networks have established themselves as the natural powerful language to 
accomplish such task.

The successful PhD candidate will embark on a thrilling journey to contribute 
to the  *CRC183 “Entangled States of Matter”* [4] in some of the 
following directions:

 * Tensor-Network exploration of entanglement structures in
   strongly-correlated systems, including classical-to-quantum crossovers and
   the presence of highly (quasi-)degenerate ground and low-energy spaces;
 * Development of a TN description of fractional topological modes;
 * Use of non-planar TN structures and/or non-local mode encodings to
   faithfully treat mesoscopic systems as the ones amenable to be realized in
   the lab with synthetic quantum matter;
 * Tailoring of TN algorithms for realistic situations and actual quantum
   materials, beyond paradigmatic models, including the implementation of
   approaches that deliver faithful estimates and error control.

A rich exchange with other international nodes (Berlin, Copenhagen, Rehovot) 
is foreseen, with generous resources available.

 

*How to apply:*

More details about the job conditions at the University of Cologne and the  
application requirements can be found in the official announcement here:

Preliminary enquiries can be directly addressed via Email to 

Prof. Dr. Matteo Rizzi (matteo.rizzi@uni-koeln.de [6])

e.g., in case the Master defence is planned to happen soon.
