DESCRIPTION

Role Title: Physics Expert (Statistical Physics / Quantum Information / Condensed Matter) Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Physics Experts (Statistical Physics / Quantum Information / Condensed Matter) to contribute to a research-driven customer project at the intersection of theoretical physics and numerical benchmarking. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work • Analyze and provide expert insights into complex statistical physics phenomena, with a focus on replicated random-bond Ising/Ashkin-Teller models, the toric-code threshold, and the Nishimori line. • Deliver clear, well-documented solutions or critiques of problems relating to Kramers-Wannier duality, quenched disorder averaging, square-lattice self-duality, and domain-wall free energy. • Engage in advanced numerical work, particularly around 4-state Potts model simulations and interpretation. • Identify, discuss, and resolve technical challenges involving noncontractible loop defects and related topological features. • Participate as a Solver, Auditor, or Adjudicator on specific project assignments based on your experience and subfield strengths. Preferred

REQUIREMENTS

▸Advanced academic background (PhD or equivalent experience) in physics, with specialization in statistical physics, quantum information, or condensed matter theory.
▸Direct, hands-on experience applying Kramers-Wannier duality, quenched disorder averaging, and square-lattice self-duality in research or project settings.
▸Demonstrated proficiency in numerical simulations involving the 4-state Potts model and analysis of domain-wall free energy.
▸Familiarity with topological quantum codes, particularly the toric code and its threshold phenomena.
