PhD vacancy at the Centre for Quantum Information and Communication (QuIC) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Belgium. The general research topic will be the theoretical study of photonic quantum circuits and their applications to quantum technologies. The research will be done under the supervision of Prof. Nicolas Cerf (ULB) in close collaboration with Dr. Leonardo Novo (INL, International Iberian Institute of Nanotechnology, Portugal).

The nanoelectronics theory groups at Forschungszentrum Juelich and RWTH Aachen are looking for highly motivated candidates to fill a Ph.D. position. The candidate will conduct research on theoretical aspects of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and quantum processors using quantum information theory. Dr. Ansari will supervise the projects and collaborate with leading experimental groups.

Project description:

We are looking for a post-graduate student to join the quantum information science group of Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick in October 2023 for a project entitled `Quantum-enhanced sensors for the gravity-quantum interface'.

A PhD position is available in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York to work with Roger Colbeck on quantum random number generators (QRNGs). Random number generators are useful in a wide variety of applications. Quantum processes are needed to generate fundamental randomness. One of the difficulties in quantum random number generation is being confident that the process being used really can generate randomness. The usual way of doing so involves taking the random number generator apart and modelling each of its internal components in detail.
