Technische Universität Berlin invites applications for two Research Assistant positions focused on theoretical quantum computing research. The project aims to identify and formally prove new quantum algorithmic advantages over classical computation, particularly for optimization problems such as SAT and integer linear programming. Research includes developing quantum optimization methods using emerging frameworks like Decoded Quantum Interferometry and Quantum Hamiltonian Descent, with applications in cryptography and chip design. The position offers the opportunity to pursue a doctorate within an international research environment. Candidates should hold a Master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, physics, or a related field with strong knowledge of quantum computing or optimization algorithms.
