PhD

The University of Surrey is committed to recruiting and supporting talented doctoral researchers, and our Doctoral College is pleased to be awarding up to 12 fully funded studentships to outstanding PhD candidates across a range of disciplines.

Please refer to the description of the various projects in Quantum computing/ quantum simulation here

Applications are invited for PhD positions in quantum algorithms at the National University of Ireland, Galway: Specific topics of interest include, amongst others, quantum walks and quantum game theory. Applicants should have an excellent undergraduate degree in one of theoretical physics / mathematics / computer science, or a masters degree, and should have strong skills in at
least two of the three areas just mentioned. For informal enquiries, email michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie

The theory groups at the Institute for Quantum Information of the Jülich-Aachen Reasearch Alliance (JARA) are looking for highly motivated candidates to fill multiple PhD positions over the next few months (a DFG-funded position could start as soon as possible).

Multiple PhD and postdoc positions are available for topics in quantum computing and simulation.

Here are current topics of Molecular quantum dynamics and information theory laboratory (M-Qudit Lab.):
1. Quantum resource theory for quantum/classical computational complexity
2. Quantum simulation for molecular systems
3. Quantum algorithm for quantum chemistry
4. Open quantum dynamics
5. Molecular quantum processors

The PhD student will participate in the theoretical project “Two-component mixtures of a few attractive ultra-cold fermions” inspired by the most recent experiments in the field of ultra-cold gases confined in optical traps. The main objective is to perform very accurate, realistic numerical simulations which will bring us closer to a better understanding of physics of a few attractive fermions.

We have a fully funded PhD position available to work on the theory of cooperative effects in optomechanics and nanomechanics with André Xuereb (andre.xuereb@um.edu.mt) and Vittorio Peano (vittorio.peano@um.edu.mt) at the University of Malta. The project is theoretical, but we expect several strong interactions with many of our experimental colleagues. For more information please read the sample description at: https://goo.gl/rqtdiH

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented Ph.D. student willing to join the team undertaking a new, 3-year "First Team" research project entitled Integrated optics in time-frequency domain: a new versatile platform for quantum technologies, funded by the Foundation for Polish Science. The project aims at research in the field of theoretical condensed matter as well as theoretical and experimental quantum optics.

Skoltech's Quantum Software Initiative is currently offering Postdoc, PhD and Masters research projects to develop the theory and implementation of software that quantum computers will execute.

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications for the new edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies (DP-PMI), starting in February 2018.

The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training in the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information sciences and technologies, namely in:
