PhD

Subject description
In recent years, atomic gases cooled down to extremely low temperatures have emerged as a playground to explore quantum many-body physics in a highly controlled manner. This has led, on the one hand, to the possibility of systematically exploring known models of condensed matter in the lab, and on the other, that new models, with no counterparts in other fields, can be engineered. As an example of the second, cold atomic gases can be held inside optical cavities and coherently interact with the electromagnetic field confined by the resonator.

1 postdoc and 3 PhD student positions are available in this project. We offer good salaries and possibility to work on a wide range of topics. To apply send your CV and a short description of scientific interests to dokmpa@univ.gda.pl Any inquires should be directed to the same address.

Project scope:

Study of quantum information processing in the case when communication and memory are limited to just a few qubits. We are interested in doing this mainly in the context of the three following fileds:

As part of the £80m UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Metrology (http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/generic/quantum/index.aspx), we are seeking applications for 12 4-year PhD studentships to work on the development and application of high-precision quantum sensors of magnetic fields for biomedical imaging, rotation for navigation, and gravity for underground mapping.

Applications are invited for an NTU Studentship in quantum information. For more, please see:

Entry requirements
Applicants are expected to be highly motivated and creative individuals with strong academic records in either mathematics or computer science. Experience, and interest in quantum information and computing is essential.

The University of York was recently awarded one of four hubs in the EPSRC’s new £155m National Network of Quantum Technology Hubs. The York Quantum Hub will investigate Quantum Communications and Quantum Cryptography, and there are a number of studentships available within the Hub. Two studentships are supervised by Stefano Pirandola and Sam Braunstein, from the Department of Computer Science.

The position is within the Quantum Optics and Quantum Simulators Group lead by Dr. Dimitris G. Angelakis in the Centre of Quantum Technologies (CQT) (http://www.quantumlah.org). The group's research interests span most aspects of theoretical quantum optics and its applications in implementing quantum computation and quantum simulation of many body phenomena.

PhD funding available, via competitive application for Government of Ireland scholarship.
Should you be interested, get in touch immediately by email to michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie,
deadline is February eleventh.

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to the 2015 edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies (DP-PMI).

The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training in the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information sciences and technologies, namely in:

1. Classical and Quantum Information Theory;
2. Classical and Quantum Logic, Computation and Machine Learning;
3. Classical and Quantum Information Security and Communications;

PhD positions available in the Quantum Technology Theory group at Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh. Opportunities for fully funded positions exist for EU students. The PhD projects are theoretical in nature and fall and into the broad area of quantum technologies, condensed matter nanostructures, and quantum biology.
