We offer topics in the general area of quantum algorithms and quantum simulation for B.Sc and M.Sc theses for interested students. Knowledge about quantum mechanics, quantum computing or many-body physics is not required but will be acquired along the way. Most projects are accompanied by programming tasks (python, julia, c++) implementing the developed techniques and integrating them into software frameworks.

Examples of possible research directions include:

• Automatized generation of quantum circuits
• Automatically differentiable structures
• Model systems, abstraction and visualisation
• Physical data encoding

Feel free to reach out to inquire about specific topics fitting your interest.

Quantum chemistry and many-body physics are typical use cases for quantum algorithms. We offer M.Sc and B.Sc theses in that area for interested students. For this area of research, a solid foundation in quantum mechanics is recommended. 

Possible topics include:

• Basis-set independent method development (excited states and qubit encodings)
• Automatized black-box approaches to quantum chemistry
• High-performance implementations of two-body approximations
• Development of measurement reduction protocols
