A short description is included below. A detailed description is available at https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/60205789 Since we believe that the position could be of interest to some of your group members, colleagues or collaborators, we would kindly ask you to forward the message, in particular to excellent post-docs and junior group leaders. Best regards, Nick Vannieuwenhoven ---- Prof. dr. Nick Vannieuwenhoven, Member of the search committee. KU Leuven, Department of Computer Science, Celestijnenlaan 200A, bus 2402, 3001 Heverlee, Belgium. *Faculty Position, Numerical Methods for Quantum Computing, KU Leuven * The Science, Engineering, and Technology Group of KU Leuven invites applications for a full time research professorship in the research unit Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (NUMA). The research in NUMA covers many aspects of computational mathematics, including approximation theory, numerical integration, numerical (multi-) linear algebra, numerical partial differential equations, uncertainty quantification, optimization and control, discrete optimization and scheduling, and high-performance computing. The research unit also performs research in collaboration with industry. The new position aims to strengthen the experience in the domain of quantum computing. Quantum computing is a novel computing paradigm relying on fundamental properties of quantum physics. It features new core building blocks that can lead to exponential speedups relative to traditional computing. This requires a fundamental shift in the design of numerical algorithms and their optimized mapping to available quantum circuits. Candidates are expected to have already obtained excellent research results within the research field of design, analysis, development, and implementation of new quantum algorithms for numerical computing. The successful candidate is expected to develop a research program on quantum computing, ensure high-quality education within the area of mathematical engineering, and be prepared to provide scientific and administrative services.
