Description of the research topic:

"Quantum computing can be considered the ultimate theory of computer science, as our physical
world appears to allow building computers that are operating according to the rules of quantum
mechanics. As small-scale devices have already been successfully constructed, and larger
quantum computers are on the way, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how can
we utilize such computers to solve various problems more efficiently. There are several important
questions that need further investigation in this direction: (a) finding new problems in optimization,
statistics, physics, or machine learning where quantum computers yield a significant advantage, (b)
understanding the limitations of quantum computers for various problems and compare their
computational power to the best classical algorithms, (c) exploring the novel possibilities in
quantum communication (d) studying the efficiency of quantum error correction."

Required language skills: English
Further requirements: 
"Master's degree in mathematics, computer science, physics, or a related field. Strong foundations in linear algebra and algorithm theory, possibly in probability theory. Adequate English knowledge for reading scientific literature and writing articl
