Overview

This PhD project is hosted by the Atomic Nuclei Study Laboratory (LENA) at CEA Paris-Saclay within the PHENIICS doctoral school. The research focuses on advancing theoretical nuclear physics by designing quantum algorithms that compute many-body Green's functions, which are critical for capturing particle correlations and dynamic nuclear reactions. The selected candidate will formulate hybrid quantum-classical protocols, implementing and testing them on quantum emulators and digital quantum platforms. The findings will help shape future computational strategies for ab initio nuclear theory. The position offers a stimulating research environment bridging high-performance computing and emerging quantum paradigms.
