PhD

We are inviting application for a PhD position in Quantum Matterwave Optics.

The Cretan Matter Waves Group on Crete is one of the leading European Groups in Atomtronics and Matterwave Optics. We have recently built the first fully coherent waveguide for matterwaves, which we published in Nature. In this system, we used a novel gravito-magnetic matte wave lens to demonstrate delta-kick cooling down to a temperature of a few piko-Kelvins.

You will work on some of the most exciting and advanced experiments on quantum mechanics and ultra-cold atoms anywhere.
You will be part of an international, dedicated, and closely-knit team of young scientists.
You will receive excellent training. You will attend dedicated EU training schools. You will be working closely with some of the leaders in the field.
You will have the opportunity of placements in high-tech quantum companiesl
Last, but not least Crete is a wonderful island, a beautiful place to live.

We are looking for highly motivated scientists to work on experiments with superconducting qubits. These positions will be funded by the European Research Council (ERC) through the Advanced Grant „Millimeter-Wave Superconducting Quantum Circuits” - Milli-Q. The goal is to develop novel superconducting quantum circuits which are operating at frequencies one order of magnitude larger than those demonstrated until now, going up to the 100 GHz frequency range, introducing numerous advantages, including:

I am recruiting one PostDoc in my group at Inria Saclay, Ecole Polytechnique near Paris. PhD and master thesis candidates are also welcome to apply. As part of a new dynamic INRIA Team located in Saclay, you will have the possibility to collaborate with other quantum information researchers in Paris area and abroad.

Two PhD projects are available in optical clocks and mmWave photonics:

In the recent past, it has been established beyond doubt that by leveraging the unique quantum properties of sub-atomic particles, information can yield unparalleled advantages in diverse disciplines of information processing including computing, communication, cryptography and control. In fact, protocols such as quantum key distribution accomplish tasks hitherto believed impossible. Notably, these protocols have been demonstrated in practice and research is underway to scale them up. We are shaping up towards emergence of a new age in information processing.
