PhD

The Quantum Information group led by Prof. Dr. Dagmar Bruss at Institute for Theoretical Physics, Duesseldorf University, Germany, is looking for two doctoral candidates to join the EU‐funded Innovative Training Network QCALL (Quantum Communication for All). One PhD student will conduct a project on "Long-distance quantum key distribution over integrated satellite-repeater links", and the othe one a project about "Multipartite quantum communication systems". Secondments with other network partners and high quality doctoral-level training are provided within the network structures.

Two PhD positions are available at Institute for Theoretical Physics III, University of Duesseldorf, Germany, http://www.thphy.uni-duesseldorf.de/~ls3/ within BMBF-funded German network "Hardware-based quantum security".

PhD position in CQT Singapore in “Quantum computation and quantum simulation with quantum optical systems”

The positions are within the Quantum Optics and Quantum Simulators Group lead by Dr. Dimitris G. Angelakis in the Centre of Quantum Technologies (http://quantumlah.org/research/group/index.php?PI=20).

Quantum Communications for ALL (QCALL) is a European Innovative Training Network, funded by Marie Sklodowska Curie Action, that endeavors to take the next necessary steps to bring the developing quantum technologies closer to the doorsteps of end users. QCALL will empower a nucleus of 15 doctoral researchers in this area, across its 9 full partners, to provide secure communications in the European continent and, in the long run, to its connections worldwide.

Led by the University of York, the Quantum Communications Hub is a partnership of eight universities and numerous private sector companies. The overall aim of the Hub is to develop a range of new, secure, quantum communications technologies. A PhD studentship, supported by EPSRC funding through York, is available to work on high-rate quantum communications, based at the Department of Computer Science, University of York.

Four funded PhD studentships in experimental and theoretical quantum physics are available to begin in October 2017. Click here to apply.

The PhD position will be available in a junior research group at the chair of Condensed Matter Theory and Quantum Information of Prof. Guido Burkard. The position should start in January 2017 (but later applications can be considered if the position is not filled by then).

The quantum group at the University of Malta is seeking one or more PhD students and a post-doctoral researcher to work on the Horizon 2020 project HOT: Hybrid Optomechanical Technologies. These positions are accompanied by a generous salary, a travel and equipment budget, and are fully funded for three years. We also promise copious sunshine and great beaches.

The quantum information science group led by Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick is seeking a PhD student to work on Mechanisms of quantum-enhanced excitonic energy transport. The student will be supported by scholarships awarded by the University of Warwick.

The goals of this theoretical project are first, to understand the mechanisms of excitonic energy transport at the quantum level in noisy systems, and second, to exploit the above understanding on the role of quantumness in noisy systems to advance quantum information science.
