4 PhD student positions in experimental quantum computing at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden

We are currently recruiting PhD students for the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology and the Flagship-funded project OpenSuperQ. Our ambitious goals at Chalmers are to build a quantum computer with 100 superconducting qubits, and to apply it to real computational problems that cannot be efficiently solved on a conventional computer.

Requirements:
-M.Sc. degree in physics
-declaration of starting Ph.D. studies at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Iformatics, University of Gdańsk from 1 of Oct. 2018.
-knowledge of quantum mechanics certified by an appropriate exam mark.
-knowledge of English sufficient to read and create scientificc article.
-Interest in quantum iformation

Funded PhD studentship starting April 2019 (Deadline January 13, 2019)

Seeing emergent magnetism in the nanoscale with quantum-enhanced sensing

We are currently offering a PhD position in the field of quantum foundations and quantum information theory. The position is associated with the research group of Borivoje Dakic at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, Austria (see https://dakic.univie.ac.at/research/ for research topics). The appointed candidate shall start on 1. 3.

In the framework of a DFG-project, a PhD position is available and to be offered to highly motivated student who intends to enhance her/his scientist carrier in the field of semiconductor quantum optics. She/he should have a high interest in basic experimental research and like working in an interdisciplinary environment. The research will be carried out in the Nano Optics group at the Institute of Nanostructure Technologies and Analytics, INA. The focus of the project is to grow, process (in clean room), characterize, and embed in resonators and pin-diode low density InP- based QDs.

This PhD project is aimed at developing highly sensitive methods for detection of magnetic fields with optically pumped magnetometers. The magnetometer will be based on laser-interrogation of room-temperature cesium or rubidium atomic vapor. The project will include work on designing a prototype magnetometer. Quantum techniques such as spin-squeezing can be used for improving the magnetic field sensitivity. Possible applications of this magnetometer include measuring bio-magnetic signals from the heart or brain. Such measurements can be done in the magnetically shielded room at Uni.

Six PhD positions in theoretical quantum optics and quantum information science are available at the Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies (QOT) at the University of Warsaw. Successful candidates will work in a diverse environment including theorists and experimentalists on fundamental properties of quantum systems, such as quantum coherence and entanglement, and their applications in quantum technologies, such as quantum metrology, sensing, communication, and computation.
