Undertake research on Dynamical Systems and Variational Quantum Circuits as part of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security & Trust (MathQuEST).
Compensation
$86,195 - $116,981 pa Level A (plus 17% employer superannuation)
Responsibilities
- Investigate whether variational quantum circuits (VQCs) can serve as useful surrogate models for nonlinear dynamical systems
- Focus on low-dimensional benchmark systems, beginning with low-dimensional systems of ODEs, with later extension to related nonlinear oscillators and chaotic attractors
- Compare two complementary strategies: learning the one-step evolution map directly, and learning the underlying vector field and then integrating it numerically
Requirements
- PhD in mathematics or a closely related field
- Nice to have: quantum computing
Skills
Benefits
- 17% employer superannuation
