The Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI) of the University of Amsterdam is looking for a PhD to study quantum problems with algebraic graph theory.
A surprising thing occurs in graph theory where the eigenvalues of various adjacency matrices of graphs capture information about the graph. Trivially, they give the number of vertices and edges of a graph. Less trivially, eigenvalues give bounds on the chromatic number, co-clique number and other graph invariants. It has even been widely conjectured that the eigenvalues of a graph almost always determines the isomorphism class. Quantum walks are an important concept in the study of quantum algorithms and can be thought of as a quantum process on an underlying graph. This setup allows for the application of classical techniques in algebraic graph theory to quantum information theory.

Our offer
A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years).

The starting date is flexible, but not later than 1 September 2021.
The salary will be €2,395 to €3,061 (scale P) gross per month, based on a full-time contract of 38 hours a week. This is exclusive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. A favourable tax agreement, the ‘30% ruling’, may apply to non-Dutch applicants. The Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities is applicable.
