Opening on Quantum Simulation

We are looking for motivated junior, senior, or MS students (current Iowa State students) interested in simulation-based research using platforms like Qiskit, NetSquid, or similar tools. Our focus lies in modeling next-generation quantum driven Tactile Internet, such as protocols design, entanglement distribution, and network architectures optimization.

What You’ll Do

  • Work on a well-defined simulation problem related to quantum enabled performance enhancement.
  • Use industry-standard quantum simulation platforms (e.g., Qiskit, QuNetSim, NetSquid)
  • Collaborate on publishable research and receive co-authorship on any resulting publications
  • Explore opportunities for Research/Teaching Assistantships (RA/TA) after initial evaluation

How to Apply

  1. Email Prof. Ahmed at shakil@iastate.edu with your background and interests with Subject: Research on Quantum Simulation
  2. We’ll begin by testing the initial project match through a simple simulation task.
  3. If aligned, you’ll be invited to join the team and work towards deeper collaboration and assistantship opportunities.
