WELCOME TO BASF
We as Global Digital Services enable BASFs digitalization. In agile teams, we develop innovative digital solutions for BASF and its customers, create new exciting customer experiences and business growth, and drive efficiencies in processes. We provide IT that works and offer know how and access to latest technologies in the areas of cloud computing, blockchain or big data.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Our ambition is to explore what can be done with quantum computing and to ensure that BASF can benefit from this promising technology. We combine scientific excellence with industrially relevant applications and continuously work on developing and implementing quantum algorithms for our use cases.
* As Quantum Computing Scientist, you will establish and coordinate collaborations with industrial as well as academic partners in the field of quantum computing.
* You will undertake the preparation and pre processing of use cases and post processing of quantum computing results using state of the art classical computing approaches as well as new quantum technologies (e.g., fault tolerant approaches).
* In addition, you will (co )develop and apply quantum computing methods, algorithms and workflows to solve relevant use cases from the area of quantum chemistry, optimization and machine learning.
* You will also provide software solutions for relevant use cases for BASF''s broader chemistry, quantum chemistry, optimization, machine learning and next generation computing community.
* We value your suggestions for new ideas to explore further use cases in the broader context of quantum computing, including but not limited to leveraging public funding opportunities.
