During the last two years we have started a large scientific activity on Quantum Computing and Machine Learning at the Center for Computing in Science Education (CCSE), with three PhD students hired since October 2019 and several master of Science students. This activity spans from the development of quantum-mechanical many-particle theories for studying systems of interest for making quantum computers, via the development of machine learning and quantum algorithms for solving quantum mechanical problems to exploring quantum machine learning algorithms.
In 2022/2023 we expect to hire a post-doctoral fellow working on quantum computing (many-body theories) at the center for Materials Science and Nanotechnology at the University of Oslo. We also expect to hire a new PhD student, see https://www.mn.uio.no/compsci/english/phd_programme/projects/physics/machine-learning.html
