---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <admin@qurope.eu> Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2020 at 16:19 Subject: PhD student in theoretical physics available at the University of Cologne To: <manzano.dani@gmail.com> 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: https://jobportal.uni-koeln.de/bewerben/258 [5] 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. -- This message was sent by an administrator in the 'The QUROPE mailing list' group at the QUROPE web site.
