We are looking for a Post-doctoral Researcher to work in the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) hosted by the University of Gdańsk. The position is offered in the Quantum Devices in Computer Science Group led by Michał Studziński.

This recruitment concerns a part-time position (75% FTE). The position has been created as part of the SONATA-16 project No. UMO-2020/39/D/ST2/01234. The project is financed by the National Science Centre Poland.

Keywords: quantum information, quantum information processing, quantum teleportation, port-based teleportation, higher-order quantum computing, symmetries and representation theory.

Key responsibilities include:
1. Actively conducting scientific research.
2. Presentation and discussion of ideas and results with a diverse audience at ICTQT and at external events.
3. Participation in seminars, group meetings, and other activities of scientific exchange.

About the SONATA project
The main goal of the project is to analyze the performance of deterministic and probabilistic quantum combs that transform unknown unitary operations in a predefined manner. The project also aims to explore the feasibility of implementing the port-based teleportation schemes—serving as a model of a quantum programmable quantum processor—using projective measurements.  Additionally, the candidate is expected to actively contribute to the development of mathematical tools inspired by the representation theory of the symmetric group and the Schur-Weyl duality. A particular focus will be on the  mixed Schur-Weyl  duality and its application to semi-definite programming complexity reduction in particular higher-order quantum computing problems.
