PhD

The newly established team “Quantum Chaos in Many-Body Systems”, led by Dario Rosa, is looking for several postdoctoral fellows as well as Ph.D. students willing to join the group.

The research interests of the group cover several topics, whose common theme is to study how quantum chaos (or its absence) affects the dynamical properties of quantum many-body systems. Among them, the group is currently focusing mostly on the following themes:

We are inviting applications for PhD and postdoc positions at the University of Stuttgart.

Postdoc position 1: The successful candidate will work on the development of integrated silicon circuits and their use in quantum information processing with a focus on quantum networks. This includes designing silicon photonic circuits, testing them, and using them in quantum photonics.

Applications are invited for PhD scholarships in quantum computation at the National University of Ireland Galway.
Initially, to discuss/formulate a research topic for the application, contact Dr. M. Mc Gettrick at michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie.
The full details of the application procedures, eligibility, etc. are at http://www.nuigalway.ie/hardiman-scholarships/

We are seeking for a talented and independent graduate student who wishes to develop her/his scientific career in a productive and motivating environment. This doctoral degree project will be carried out in the quantum photonics group led by Ana Predojevic (http://qphotonics.fysik.su.se). The successful candidate should have interest in quantum optics, quantum metrology, or quantum technologies.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on theoretical aspects related to quantum many-body physics. Research topics can include:

- non-equilibrium processes in synthetic quantum matter

- dynamical phases in light-matter systems

- fluctuations and correlations in open quantum systems

- application of advanced numerical methods (e.g. machine learning or tensor networks) to the dynamics of open and closed quantum systems

- quantum cellular automata and quantum enhanced neural network designs

We are recruiting an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) to work in the Marie Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) “Applications and Hardware for Photonic Quantum Information Processing (AppQInfo)”. The ITN will provide multidisciplinary training culminating in PhDs awarded by Imperial College London.

We have two fully-funded PhD studentships available in the Ultrafast Quantum Optics group at Imperial College London.

The first is funded by the European Commission’s Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network (ITN) and the second is via the EPRSC and the Quantum Computing & Simulation Hub. Both research topics are centred around the experimental implementation of quantum simulators using interfering photons.

Quantum computers promise to deliver strong computational speedups, at least for a few relevant problems. One path towards building a quantum computer is to design a small quantum device and carefully scale it up, this is the so-called monolithic approach. An alternative path is to link small quantum devices via entanglement and create a distributed quantum computer. While this approach has the advantage of sidestepping the need to control very large quantum systems it brings challenges of its own such as the periodic distribution of entanglement.

We offer a 3.5-years PhD position for a motivated researcher to join our work on spin qubits in silicon carbide (SiC). Colour centres in SiC have recently be shown to uniquely combine excellent spin properties with ultrastable optical transitions for spin-photon interfacing. Our goal is to exploit the technological properties of this semiconductor, with established growth, doping and fabrication, to develop quantum devices to build building blocks for the future Quantum Internet.

A PhD position available now in the group of Prof. Jarek Korbicz within OPUS project "Novel approach to decoherence and information transfer studies in open quantum systems" founded by the National Science Center of Poland.
