Quantum technology is the focus of a group of specialists at the LRZ dedicated to providing, researching, and advancing quantum computing (QC) technologies for the Bavarian and international quantum communities. The QC team provides users with a broad portfolio of resources and services, including quantum simulators, remote access to quantum hardware, scientific consultancy, and education/training. More experimentally, this team explores and develops integration pathways for quantum acceleration capabilities in next-generation high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Leading this team, you will drive and facilitate conceptualizing and providing new tools and methods in the field of QC and HPC-QC integration; working with new innovative hardware technologies; and building unique solutions to aid quantum computing end-users in the advancement of their research. Your work will be instrumental in shaping Bavaria's reputation as a global quantum hotspot and in pushing the boundaries of innovative scientific discoveries achievable with quantum computing.

We have an opening for a
