The Bosch Research and Technology Center North America with offices in Sunnyvale, California, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Cambridge, Massachusetts is a part of the global Bosch Group (a company with over 70 billion euro revenue, 400,000 employees worldwide, a very diverse product portfolio, and a history spanning over 125 years. The Research and Technology Center North America (RTC-NA) is dedicated to providing technologies and system solutions for various Bosch business fields, primarily in the field of artificial intelligence, energy technologies, internet technologies, circuit design, semiconductors and wireless, as well as advanced MEMS design. Job Description As an intern in the Atomistic Computational Materials Science team at the Bosch Research and Technology Center North America, you will contribute to the development of advanced computational methods for strongly correlated electron systems within a hybrid quantumu2013classical Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) workflow. Your work will focus on the development and benchmarking of: (1) classical impurity solvers based on Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) and Adaptive Sampling Configuration Interaction (ASCI), and (2) quantum impurity solvers based on Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), quantum Equation of Motion (qEOM), Subspace Expansion (SE), and Sample-based Quantum Diagonalization (SQD). These methods will be used to compute ground and excited states of multi-orbital Anderson Impurity Model (AIM) Hamiltonians, evaluate Greenu2019s functions in the Lehmann representation, and integrate the solvers into a hybrid DMFT self-consistency workflow as described in npj Comput. Mater. 11, 325 (2025) and arXiv:2404.09527. The goals of this research are to enable scalable simulations of strongly correlated materials and to assess the role of emerging quantum computing technologies in future industrial materials design workflows. You will have access to state-of-the-art high-performance computing infrastructure and classical quantum simulators for algorithm development and benchmarking. Qualifications Required Qualification: + Currently pursuing a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field + Strong background in quantum many-body physics, electronic structure theory, or quantum algorithm development + Experience with numerical simulations (Python, NumPy, SciPy) + Research experience, strong teamwork skills, and excellent oral and written communication + Minimum GPA of 3.0 Desired Qualification: + Experience with DMRG, tensor networks, or selected CI methods (e.g., ASCI) + Familiarity with DMFT and classical or quantum impurity solvers + Experience with quantum computing frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane) + Knowledge of quantum algorithms for ground and excited states (VQE, qEOM, subspace methods, SQD, imaginary-time approaches) Additional Information _The U.S. base salary range for this intern position is_ _$43.00 u2013 $55.00 an hour_ _.
