Research Associate - 35431 Research Faculty Description
University of Colorado | Denver
Official Title: Research Associate
FTE: Full-time
Salary Range: $80,000-$85,000
Workplace Modality: In-person at NIST (Boulder, CO)
Position #00706478 - Requisition #35431
Research Associate Position Available at
CU DENVER NIST PREP Program
NIST Organization (Div/Group) : Computing and Communications Theory Group
This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) hosts the Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) which is designed to provide valuable laboratory experience and financial assistance to undergraduates, post-bachelor's degree holders, graduate students, master's degree holders, postdocs, and faculty.
PREP is a 5-year cooperative agreement between NIST laboratories and participating PREP Universities to establish a collaborative research relationship between NIST and U.S. institutions of higher education in the following disciplines including (but may not be limited to) biochemistry, biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering, electronics, materials science, mathematics, nanoscale science, neutron science, physical science, physics, and statistics. This collection of information is needed to facilitate administrative functions of the PREP Program.
NIST Sponsor Name : Emanuel Knill
Level of Appointment: Research Associate
+ The candidate must be eligible to work in the U.S.A. by time of application.

Length of Term:
Start Date: January 9, 2024
End Date: January 9, 2025
What you will do:
This position involves quantum information science research. The main task is to develop theory and methods in applied quantum information science. This may include theory and analysis of quantum characterization protocols, developing such protocols, investigating the behavior of differently randomized protocols and circuits, and specification of test problems for comparing performances of quantum and classical computing systems.
Minimum Qualifications:
Applicants must meet minimum qualifications at the time of hire.
+ Ph.D. in physics or closely related field.
+ Minimum 5 years of postdoctoral research experience in physics or closely related field.
+ Experience with nonequilibrium quantum condensed matter and AMO physics.
+ Experience with theoretical quantum information science research.
+ Experience with measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) and quantum tasks.
+ Experience with Lieb-Robinson bound to local operations with classical communication (LOCC), achieving optimal bounds
+ Experience with the optimality of protocols for teleportation, Bell, and GHZ states.
Preferred Qualifications:
+ Work on developed efficient protocols for GHZ and W states, as well as Dicke and spin-squeezed states.
+ Work on teleportation as equivalent to preparing a specific quantum ground state, confirming a long-standing conjecture.
