Quantum batteries have garnered significant attention as a novel energy storage paradigm, leveraging quantum phenomena such as coherence, entanglement, and squeezing to outperform classical counterparts. While a substantial body of research has focused on finite-dimensional systems, particularly spin-based and qubit-based models, the potential of bosonic systems, such as harmonic oscillators, remains underexplored. This research aims to bridge this gap, emphasizing the unique advantages offered by continuous-variable setups, including scalability, and compatibility with realistic physical systems, in particular quantum optics and materials.

We are now accepting applications for the Quantum Center Research Fellowship Programme. These fellowships provide funding for PhD students and postdocs hosted by research groups of the Quantum Center at ETH Zürich.

The fellowships support innovative and original scientific research that aligns with the host group while fostering the fellow’s independence. In addition, fellows will help further strengthen the community of PhD students and postdocs at the Quantum Center, for example by organizing technical exchange events or social activities.

Open call for a fully funded 4 year PhD position, supervised by Dr. Anthony Kiely at the School of Physics, University College Cork, Ireland. The project is in the area of theoretical quantum physics, so an undergraduate degree in physics or related discipline is an essential prerequisite. Experience with quantum optics and programming (e.g. Python, Mathematica etc.) would also be beneficial. The project will investigate new methods for modelling continuous quantum measurements and leveraging these results for quantum feedback control.

We are inviting applications to fill a PhD position to join the theory research group led by Carlos Gonzalez-Ballestero at Vienna (Austria). The group is affiliated with the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Vienna University of Technology and part of the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology. The candidate will work on theoretical quantum optics and magnonics and collaborate with experimental groups.

The Peter Grünberg Institute for Quantum Control (PGI-8) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, is offering a fully-funded PhD position for three years to pursue unique research on sample-efficient gate calibration methods based on quantum optimal control. The successful candidate will be jointly supervised by Prof. Dr. Felix Motzoi (PGI-8) and Dr. Markus Heinrich (University of Cologne).
