The European Space Agency's Advanced Concepts Team (https://www.esa.int/act) is looking for a highly motivated young researcher in the field of Fundamental Physics. For this position there is a focus on research in theoretical quantum physics – including quantum information, optics and metrology – and the application of quantum effects to technology and material design as well as to other fields of physics e.g. relativistic quantum metrology.

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Fellow (postdoc) to work on the theory of quantum correlations and quantum cryptography. The candidate should ideally have some experience in quantum cryptography research and semi-definite programming.

Our ambition is to realize a world wide quantum internet, connecting few qubit quantum processors using long distance quantum communication links. In 2020, we aim to have the first demonstration network connecting several cities in the Netherlands. We are now looking for an exceptional PhD candidate to join us in this endeavour.
