Efficient Computational Methods for Nuclear Quantum Dynamics

The second quantum revolution - marked by the development of technologies harnessing quantum effects - will shape the future of information technology. Central to this transformation is a deep understanding of quantum dynamics, which fundamentally determines the performance of quantum devices. Unlocking the full potential of quantum control requires precise modelling, manipulation, and detection of these dynamics with innovative approaches in theory, experiments, and computation. This project addresses these challenges by developing a simulation software for the quantum dynamics of Mössbauer nuclei. We aim to explore novel strategies for leveraging these dynamics in quantum control and metrology. The software will enable us to evaluate existing experiments on the geometric phase steering of nuclei via magnetization dynamics - experiments that have not been understood yet - and to design new concepts for dynamic control of nuclei.

You will implement time-domain solvers for nuclear quantum dynamics with advanced numerical algorithms. The numerical methods will also be applied to existing experimental data. Your own experiments will further help to investigate new frontiers in nuclear quantum control.
