HPC-Researcher - Quantum Systems

Supercomputers help us find solutions to major scientific challenges and are indispensable for modern research. The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) operates one of the most powerful supercomputing Infrastructures in Europe, in particular JUPITER, Europe’s first Exascale supercomputer and the current #4 worldwide. JSC makes these resources available to researchers at the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), in Germany, and throughout Europe. Within the division "HPC for Quantum Systems", the Simulation and Data Laboratory (SDL) Numerical Quantum Field Theory aims to understand the properties of strongly interacting/correlated matter, with scientific objectives range from the study of nucleon properties to strongly correlated electronic systems, such as carbon nanostructures. To study these systems, the SDL develops algorithms and implementations for various high-performance computing (HPC) systems. To inform future algorithm and software development, the SDL studies novel computing hardware, often in the prototype stage, and engages in hardware-software co-design.
