PhD

Research unit: International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies
Research filed: quantum physics, quantum technology
Number of job offers: 8
Stipend amount: monthly stipend 4 500 PLN (gross stipend, tax included)
Position starts on: 01.10.2020 (for candidates who already have a master's degree and candidates who plan to defend their master's thesis no later than July 2020). For candidates who are already doctoral students, the starting date is negotiable.

We are the Quantum Circuits Research & Engineering Workgroup (qcrew) in Singapore. We focus on building quantum devices using superconducting circuits to provide crucial building blocks for quantum computers and versatile testbeds for exploring novel phenomena in quantum physics. We have multiple Ph.D and post-doc openings for motivated young scientist with backgrounds in experimental physics or engineering to join our team. For more details, go to our team website at www.quantumcrew.org or contact Yvonne directly.

QuSoft is looking for a PhD candidate for developing and analyzing new quantum algorithms for inherently quantum problems. This position is part of Maris Ozols VIDI project "Mathematics of Quantum Algorithms", funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The goal of this project is to develop quantum algorithms for problems where both the input and output are quantum states as opposed to classical bit strings.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative student for a fully-funded PhD position in Dublin, on the quantum thermodynamics of flows of light in the strong-coupling regime. The successful candidate will create theories and simulations of the thermodynamic properties of polariton gases, and use them to develop novel concepts for thermodynamic machines that use light as the working medium.

Hardiman Scholarships ( http://www.nuigalway.ie/hardiman-scholarships/ ) are now open, deadline soon, for PhD at NUI Galway. I would be very interested in supervising PhD research in quantum walks, quantum games, or general quantum algorithms. Please contact in the first instance michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie

I am looking for PhD students for my new group at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore. My group will be part of the vibrant international research community around CQT. Topics of interest include quantum Shannon theory and statistics, resource theories, quantum cryptography and other technical/mathematical aspects of quantum information.

This is an open-ended call and I will consider high-quality applications as they come in.
The following types of positions are available:

A fully funded PhD position is available to work in the Thermodynamics and energetics of quantum systems group (QuSys) in the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland lead by Prof. John Goold. The group is a dynamic, International and gender-balanced bunch working on the cutting edge of the field. The research interests of the group are available on the group website: http://www.tcd.ie/Physics/research/groups/qusys/

We are offering a funded PhD studentship to a highly motivated and well-qualified researcher who intends to work in the field of quantum thermodynamics. The successful candidate will work as part of the research group led by Jens Eisert at the FU Berlin. For an overview of research activities of the group, see

We are looking for the PhD student to work in Quantum Cybersecurity and Communication Group at the newly created International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT), funded by the Foundation for Polish Science, and hosted by the University of Gdansk. The broad aim of the Quantum Cybersecurity and Communication Group is to perform research concerning quantum phenomena which could be used for quantum methods for information transfer, coding and processing, aimed towards applied physics and possible commercialization.

We seek excellent, highly motivated PhD students to join our theoretical quantum technology research group led by Prof. Markus Müller. Our group recently relocated to the Institute for Quantum Information at RWTH Aachen University and the Peter-Grünberg-Institute for Theoretical Nanotechnology at the Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany.
