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: 
Masters in Mathemtaics, Computer Science, Physics or related disciplines. Solid
background in linear algebra and the theory of computation; sufficient English skills to read
and understand the related scientific literature.

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2024-05-31
