About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D; into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 1000 staff from 60 countries.
Context And Mission




The BSC Quantic team aims to develop and apply advanced analytical and numerical methods to investigate quantum field theories and strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. In this project, particular emphasis will be placed on Hamiltonian formulations of lattice field theories, their quantum simulation, and the characterization of their complexity and quantum-information properties. The research will address fundamental questions related to continuum limits, phase structure, real-time dynamics, entanglement, non-Gaussianity, and ergodicity, while exploring alternative lattice formulations that may enable more efficient classical and quantum simulations.
Key Duties
- Numerical and analytical investigation of quantum field theories and strongly correlated quantum many-body systems.
- Development and application of numerical methods for the classical and quantum simulation of lattice field theories.
- Investigation of quantum complexity, entangle
