**About us**:
The aim of the project is to develop the foundations of quantum computational advantage. In particular, the aim is to gain a systematic understanding of the use of non-classical features of quantum mechanics, such as contextuality, to obtain quantum advantage in a range of computational tasks. An important theme within this is to develop the understanding of contextuality in combination with causality.

This position is associated with the FoQaCiA project on Foundations of Quantum Computational Advantage. This is part of a Canada/EU Horizon project being funded by UKRI/Innovate UK under the Horizon guarantee. This is led by Professor Samson Abramsky in the Department of Computer Science at UCL.

The primary duties are:

- Conducting research within the project, in particular on the relation of non-classical features of quantum mechanics to quantum computational advantage
- Producing quality publications in leading venues

**About you**:
While the main emphasis of the project is foundational and mathematical, the development of software to explore and illustrate the ideas is also envisaged.
