Engineer Aerospace Engineering, Mathematician, Computer Scientist or similar (f/m/x)
You will conduct scientific research in the field of quantum computing for aviation applications.
You will develop, implement, and test quantum algorithms.
You will learn how to use quantum simulators and, if necessary, real and size-limited quantum computers.
You will demonstrate the algorithms as prototypes using aerodynamic test cases of increasing complexity.
You transfer scientific results to industrial applications.
You will present the results in scientific journals as well as at national and international conferences.
As part of this PhD position, you will have the chance to become part of the quantum computing ecosystem with a focus on aviation. The DLR environment offers you opportunities and access to state-of-the-art simulation software and hardware. Become part of the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative.
