PhD

Candidates are sought for a PhD position in Theoretical Physics at l'Institut de Nanosciences de Paris (Sorbonne université) to be supervised by Dr Alex Chin. The project involves the simulation and theory of open quantum systems, with a focus on using new Tensor Network methods as a way to access the non-perturbative, real-time physics of excitons interacting with molecular vibrations in organic semiconductors and supramolecular nanostructures (see pdf at URL above).

There are different deadlines for each of the positions

Multiphoton quantum interference is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum physics, and is at the very heart of quantum computing and metrology technologies. However, the post-classical sensing and computational capabilities of multiphoton networks are yet far from being fully explored in practical experimental scenarios.

This theoretical project aims to develop scalable sensing and computational techniques based on the use of optimal linear interferometers with experimentally available photonic input states. The main idea is to exploit the full quantum information encoded in the interferometric evolution of the input photonic quantum states by employing novel measurement techniques (e.g. iterative interferometric dynamics, conditional dynamics, multiplexing and correlation measurements sensitive to the photonic inner and spatial modes).

Trapped Rydberg ions are a novel quantum system. By laser light, the outermost electron of trapped ions is excited to high-lying orbitals. Such Rydberg ions are million times bigger than ions in the ground state, and due to their size, they obtain very peculiar properties. For instance, they have very large transition dipole moments thus become very sensitive to microwave fields.

We invites applications for different positions in experimental or theoretical studies of dark matter detection with optical atomic clocks and in in theoretical/observational inhomogeneous cosmology. The candidate can choose between:

We are seeking a highly qualified and ambitious candidate for a
position as an early stage researcher with the aim of a PhD
