MICRO1 is seeking a highly skilled Physics Expert with deep expertise in condensed matter physics and quantum information science. This is a contract opportunity for a researcher or specialist who can tackle advanced computational and theoretical physics challenges.
Role Overview
As a Physics Expert, you will work on cutting-edge quantum systems research, applying specialized numerical and analytical techniques to solve complex problems in quantum many-body physics.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform exact diagonalization of quantum systems with translation and reflection symmetries, preferably using QuSpin, for system sizes L ≥ 26
- Implement and apply subspace block-diagonalization techniques to reduce computational complexity
- Conduct overlap analysis with Z2 states to characterize quantum phases and transitions
- Contribute domain expertise to research-level problems in condensed matter and quantum information
Required Skills & Expertise
- Strong background in Physics, particularly condensed matter and/or quantum information
- Proficiency with exact diagonalization methods and symmetry-resolved computations
- Experience with QuSpin (strongly preferred)
- Familiarity with block-diagonalization in symmetry subspaces
- Understanding of Z2 symmetry and quantum state overlap calculations
Compensation
$80–$160/hr, depending on experience and expertise level.
