PhD

The newly established Group of Quantum Optical Communication and Metrology of Roma Tre University in Rome, Italy, is looking for a PhD candidate starting in the academic year 2023/2024. The PhD fellowship is financed by the EU and the National Recovery Plan, via a research project on Quantum Communication led by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Matteo Rosati.

I am looking for motivated scientists to join my group at the University of Augsburg, Germany.
You will work on the project: Universal quantum computer with Kitaev transmon qubits.

The Kitaev transmon qubit is a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor qubit fabricated by embedding an array of quantum dots with superconducting coupling (forming a Kitaev chain) in a transmon architecture. You will work on designing and optimizing new qubit gate schemes for control and manipulation of these qubits.

Applications are invited for a PhD position in theoretical quantum information and computation, working with Shashank Virmani at Brunel University London Mathematics department, in the UK. Deadline 26 May.

It is currently anticipated that the PhD will be on the theme of classical simulation of quantum systems, but this may evolve during the project if the student so wishes.

Both UK and overseas applicants are welcome to apply, although funding may be more competitive for non UK citizens.

Your Mission
We offer a full-time or part-time position in the Physical Foundations of IT Security team within the Terahertz and Laser Spectroscopy Department in the DLR Institute of Optical Sensor Systems. Our research interest is the realization of physical model systems for photonic and quantum information processing. This includes quantum light sources and quantum memories for repeater-based quantum communication and optical quantum computing, but also optical neuromorphic computing architectures for artificial intelligence.

The focus of this project is to realize a small quantum processor node, where the qubits consist of individual ions of Rare-Earth’s (Lanthanides). Such a processor node is a key unit that can be used in several quantum technologies, e.g. both as a quantum computer and for quantum communication. In order to be able to detect individual ions, the project uses an optical micro-cavity to amplify the emission by the Purcell effect.
