My institution just bought a D-Wave 2X adiabatic quantum computer. The problem is, no one really has a grasp on how to *program* an adiabatic quantum computer. It's a totally different beast from the gate-model quantum computers that most people imply when they talk about quantum computing.
I'm looking to hire a postdoc to work with me on designing and implementing programming models suitable for execution on D-Wave-style quantum computers. The formal job ad can be found at http://tinyurl.com/jdlo556 or go to http://jobs.lanl.gov/ and look up job IRC49031. Disclaimer: This is not specifically a Haskell-hacking position, although you can use any language you want for the classical-side development. I'm posting here because a key skill I'm looking for is breadth of language knowledge. I see a candidate who knows nonstrict functional programming, declarative programming, and maybe a few "fringe" programming models as more valuable than one who knows only a dozen isomorphic imperative languages. -- Scott _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell
