Richard James is seeking an theorist for a postdoctoral position on the project âœAssessment of Quantum Computing to Improve or Bypass Density Functional Theoryâ.  The scientific goals of the project are twofold: 1) To develop methods of simulation for Nonadiabatic Quantum Mechanics based on the basic invariance of quantum mechanics (in particular, to develop the method of âœObjective Nonadiabatic Quantum Mechanicsâ), and 2) To investigate whether the success of recent AI methods for the determination of the exchange-correlation energy give hints as to its exact form.   Both cases (1) and (2) can be applied to systems involving just a few electrons and ions.  Therefore, a third goal of the research is to investigate whether quantum computing methods could be useful
