PhD

Looking for 2 PhD students to work in the newly established Quantum Resources Group at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland. The official calls can be found at the EURAXESS website: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/451891. The specific research directions that the group will pursue are described in the Research Agenda that is available here: http://kamilkorzekwa.com/group/research_agenda.pdf.

A PhD in quantum computing for chemistry in an international and diverse team at a big but visionary corporation and with access to an excellent scientific environment is too good to be true. Why not?

Applications are invited for a competitive PhD scholarship in Quantum Information Theory at the National University of Ireland, Galway. The application will be made to the Irish Research Council (www.research.ie), but in the first instance candidates should contact michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie to discuss research topics. We are especially interested in Quantum Walks, but any area within quantum computation theory is welcome.

We are seeking for two PhD students (monthly stipend 850 EUR + 850 EUR for other development costs) and one master student (monthly stipend 450 EUR) in the filed of quantum computation. The positions will be implemented within the group of dr Michał Oszmaniec in Center for Theoretical Physics PAS in Warsaw. The group is founded form the project "Quantum computers of the near future: challenges, optimal of implementations and applications" awarded by Foundation for Polish Science.

Details for the PhD position:

We are a newly established group at Stockholm University with open PhD and postdoc positions. Research in the group focuses on quantum optics, quantum control and quantum information theory. One major research interest is the interface between gravity and quantum physics at low energies, focusing on how gravity affects quantum optical systems, what novel effects can arise and how to probe them in experiments. The projects may include topics in:

Ph.D. and Postdoc positions are available in the integrated hybrid quantum circuits group at IQST University of Calgary.

A PhD-student position is available in the „Young Independent Researcher Group“ lead by Dr. Yelena Guryanova, Dr. Ämin Baumeler, and Dr. Costantino Budroni. This group is inter-institutional; it is affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, as well as with the Department of Physics, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Secure quantum communication over long distances may be enabled by the development of satellite platforms for the distribution of quantum states and entanglement from space. The Chinese satellite Micius has demonstrated the technical feasibility of satellite quantum communication and there are many international efforts to achieve similar capability. Quantum Key Distribution is the prime application but such space systems may be able to support new and novel protocols even more challenging to perform with terrestrial fibre networks.

This PhD scholarship in Quantum Information & Control is under the supervision of Daniel Burgarth at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. It covers the national/international tuition fees as well as support for travel and research costs, and provides an annual stipend of 27,596 AUD. The group at Macquarie hosts a range of leading researchers working in experimental and theoretical Quantum Information, including Dominic Berry, Gavin Brennen, Daniel Burgarth, Alexei Gilchrist, Danny Terno, Jason Twamley, and Thomas Volz.

We offer two four-year PhD positioions in Quantum InformatioTheory. The grant is run by dr hab. Marcin Wieśniak and is titled "Complex Entagled states: production and analysis". The research plan includes:
-studyinng toric codes in higher dimension
-work towards an optical demonstration of measurement-based quantum computation and analysis of effects of various physical errors
-studyning new self-testing Bell inequalities
