<div dir="ltr">It is amazing to see this coming. Philip Wadler uses to say that λ-calculus is "Multiversal" ...

The problem is, no one really has a grasp on how to *program* an<br>
adiabatic quantum computer. It's a totally different beast from the<br>
gate-model quantum computers that most people imply when they talk<br>
about quantum computing.<br>
<br>
I'm looking to hire a postdoc to work with me on designing and<br>
implementing programming models suitable for execution on D-Wave-style<br>
quantum computers. The formal job ad can be found at<br>

job IRC49031.<br>

Disclaimer: This is not specifically a Haskell-hacking position,<br>
although you can use any language you want for the classical-side<br>
development. I'm posting here because a key skill I'm looking for is<br>
breadth of language knowledge. I see a candidate who knows nonstrict<br>
functional programming, declarative programming, and maybe a few<br>
"fringe" programming models as more valuable than one who knows only a<br>
dozen isomorphic imperative languages.<br>
