Student Assistant for LLM-Based Research in the »Quantum Machine Learning« Team (all genders)

The »Quantum Machine Learning« team at Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO in Stuttgart conducts research on quantum computing-based data processing and develops machine learning methods in support of quantum technologies. The team is part of flaQship, the Fraunhofer Lab for applied quantum computing Stuttgart-Heilbronn, which unites the expertise of Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. Within flaQship, the research area Quantum Service Engineering and High-Performance Computing focuses on making quantum computing usable as service-oriented applications, on integrating quantum resources into existing IT workflows, and on operating the laboratory and High-Performance computing infrastructure on which our research, trainings and demonstrators rely. To strengthen our research activities, we are looking for a Student Assistant interested in exploring how large language models and agentic AI systems can support research in quantum algorithms and related fields. You will contribute to the development and evaluation of AI-assisted research workflows that combine scientific literature, mathematical reasoning, software tools, and automated verification to accelerate and improve research in quantum computing.
