About the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT)
CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore. The Centre also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environmentThe Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore, and MajuLab, the French-Singaporean international laboratory, are seeking a talented postdoctoral research fellow to conduct theoretical and numerical investigations on random quantum circuits and their connection with Kardar-ParisiZhang (KPZ) physics in quantum systems.

The KPZ equation, introduced in 1986 to describe the growth of rough surfaces, has since become a captivating area of research due to its remarkable universality.

A recent article by Nahum et al. [PRX 7, ] observation an interesting connection between the entanglement growth in random quantum Clifford circuits and KPZ phenomena.

This project aims at exploring this connection more broadly, and to discover links with two other quantum platforms studied within the same project that also manifest KPZ physics - systems with Anderson localization and exciton-polariton condensates.

The Research Fellow's primary focus will be on the random circuit aspects, but they can expect to have close interactions with team members from the other two platforms.
