PhD: Quantum Molecular Dynamics on Quantum Computers: Towards a Unified Electron-Nuclei Simulation

The Theoretical Physical Chemistry & Modeling Department at the Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier invites applications for a PhD position in quantum molecular dynamics on quantum computers. The research aims to develop a unified formalism for molecular quantum dynamics, integrating electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom. The project will adapt existing quantum algorithms for time dynamics and non-adiabatic molecular dynamics, with a focus on reducing complexity and validating methods on quantum hardware. Candidates should have a background in chemistry and be proficient in French.
