Quantum Computing Materials Science Intern

As an intern in the Atomistic Computational Materials Science team at the Bosch Research and Technology Center North America you will contribute to the development of advanced computational methods for strongly correlated electron systems within a hybrid quantumclassical Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) workflow.

Your work will focus on the development and benchmarking of: (1) classical impurity solvers based on Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) and Adaptive Sampling Configuration Interaction (ASCI) and (2) quantum impurity solvers based on Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) quantum Equation of Motion (qEOM) Subspace Expansion (SE) and Sample-based Quantum Diagonalization (SQD). These methods will be used to compute ground and excited states of multi-orbital Anderson Impurity Model (AIM) Hamiltonians evaluate Greens functions in the Lehmann representation and integrate the solvers into a hybrid DMFT self-consistency workflow as described in npj Comput. Mater. 11 325 (2025) and arXiv:.

The goals of this research are to enable scalable simulations of strongly correlated materials and to assess the role of emerging quantum computing technologies in future industrial materials design workflows. You will have access to state-of-the-art high-performance computing infrastructure and classical quantum simulators for algorithm development and benchmarking.
