The aim of the project is to develop and optimize an innovative method for utilizing new ultracold, strongly polar, and strongly polar and magnetic molecules in optical tweezers and lattices to realize a new generation of ultracold molecular qubits and two-qubit quantum gates. In the first stage, we will thoroughly investigate the structure and quantum control capabilities of the proposed strongly polar molecules. Next, we will develop an optimal method for encoding qubit states on the most promising molecules. In the second stage, we will focus on designing optimal two-qubit gates based on strong dipole interactions and the control of molecules with optical tweezers. Finally, the proposed molecular quantum computer architecture will be investigated for its use in real-world quantum computing and other applications, such as quantum simulations and precise quantum measurements.

The candidate is expected to know theoretical methods for calculating quantum dynamics and control. We also expect experience in programming, motivation and independence in solving scientific problems.

The planned employment will be realized within the project „ Ultracold Polar Molecules for Quantum Technologies “ financed by the Foundation for Polish Science within the First Team FENG program grant of which prof. dr hab. Michał Tomza is the main contractor. The planned employment period is for 36 months. .

The candidates have to conform to the conditions stated in art. 113 of Higher Education Law dated 20.07.2018. (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2024, item 1571 with further amendments).

Skills/Qualifications

The candidate is expected to know theoretical methods for calculating quantum dynamics and control.
