PhD

There are two PhD positions currently advertised in the Insititute for Informatics at the University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway. These positions are advertised across disciplines in computer science so if you want to apply to do a PhD on the mathematical theory of quantum information, quantum machine learning, quantum computing, and/or quantum networks, or related topics, then please mention that you would like to work with Professor Matthew G. Parker.
For more questions regarding possible research topics then please feel free email him at:

PhD positions open at Grenoble Alpes University, in Quantum Information Theory (with a particular focus on error correction).
It is part of the computer science work package of the Grenoble Quantum Engineering project.
Information about the project and the phd calls an be found at : https://quantum.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/ .

PhD positions open at the University of Palermo, with possibility to join the group of QUID, led by Rosario Lo Franco.

Applications for a PhD position to work in Belfast under the supervision of Dr Alessandro Ferraro and Prof Mauro Paternostro, funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND training programme, are open until 21 July 2017. The project would be developed in strong and close collaboration with the experimental linear-optics group led by Profs Fabio Sciarrino and Paolo Mataloni at Sapienza Universita' di Roma.

In the process of setting up a new quantum optics theory group, I am searching for outstanding PhD students to work on the following topics
- Quantum simulation with quantum optics setups, in particular of lattice gauge theories
- Design of protocols for measuring entanglement in cold quantum gases
- Theory of quantum many-body systems (non-equilibrium dynamics, periodically driven systems, exotic quantum phases, characterization through entanglement)
