PhD

We offer a 3-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 (see, for example, our collaborative work publish in Nature Communications 10, 1954). Our goal is to develop optically-active spin qubits directly operating at telecom wavelength, providing building blocks for the future Quantum Internet.

There exists a prestigious and well-funded PhD scholarship for a student to undertake research on the theory of acoustic modes interacting with superconducting qubits at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia. The project will be undertaken under the supervision of Dr Matt Woolley, Dr David Powell, and A/Prof Andrey Miroshnichenko. The scholarship includes a stipend of \$AU41,209 per annum for four years, a travel allowance of up to \$AU10,000 per annum, and covers all tuition fees.

For our group at the University of Siegen (Germany) we are looking for a motivated PhD student in the field of quantum information theory, foundations of quantum theory, and quantum optics. The group is led by three PIs (Otfried Gühne, Matthias Kleinmann, and Stefan Nimmrichter) and the research topics include:

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our Emmy-Noether research group in Theoretical Quantum Physics, starting off on 1.August at the LMU Munich. The candidates are expected to have strong analytic skills, ideally with a background in fermionic quantum systems and reduced density matrices. Mathematical Physicists are encouraged to apply as well. Our projects are concerning the interface of Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Many-Body Physics.

PhD positions open to join our group in Palermo. Please, check the call for applications and choose the competition code 8 (Information and Communication Technologies). Extended deadline 13th July 2019. Please, contact me if you need further clarifications: rosario.lofranco@unipa.it. See also: https://rosariolofranco.weebly.com/.

The Cretan Matter Waves group at IESL FORTH in Heraklion (Greece) is looking for excellent candidates for a PhD and MSc positions to develop optics for space missions. This project will be supervised by Dr. Wolf von Klitzing and Dr. Dimitris Papazoglou.
