About the position We are looking for a motivated and experienced Postdoc or Scientist for a full-time position, to carry out high-quality research in Quantum Information. Topics include Bell nonlocality, namely identifying novel Bell-inequalities/nonlocal games and studying their properties, through numerical techniques, like facet enumeration and Semi-definite-programming. The candidate must have experience in convex optimization, and some experience in (Semi-)Device-Independent Cryptography is desirable. The candidate will integrate a dynamic and forward-thinking team composed of senior scientists, researchers, and students. He/she is expected to bring own research ideas and skills to tackle ongoing R&D challenges, in close collaboration with our interdisciplinary team and with external scientific and industrial partners. Our Group publishes in high quality scientific journals and high-quality conferences in Quantum Information and is seeking a researcher that can work for this goal, apply for competitive funding in the framework of projects or contracts, and support our PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. |
