PhD

Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship (UK/EU priority) to commence in October 2020.

Title: Quantum simulation of complex quantum processes on superconducting qubits

The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Technology, and will be supervised by Dr Jaewoo Joo, Dr Arseni Goussev and Dr Andrew Burbanks.

We are looking for motivated PhD students or postdocs to join the group of Dr. Yuan Haidong at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The group works in the field of quantum information, quantum control, quantum metrology, and other quantum technology. The group is theoretical but works closely with experimentists.

Quantum communication via low-orbit satellites offers up a paradigm shift in telecommunications. Providing for unparalleled communication security, this emerging technology will also lead us into the development of the global quantum internet. In this project you will leverage optical quantum communications, quantum error correction, and channel modelling, to deliver novel and optimized quantum communication protocols specifically designed for the satellite-to-ground and inter-satellite channels.

Development and experimental evaluation of innovative classical and quantum optical communication systems

What we expect from you

A PhD position is available to work in the Quantum Correlations Group of the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Geneva under the joint supervision of Dr. Martí Perarnau-Llobet and Prof. Nicolas Brunner. The project is of theoretical nature and aims at optimising several thermodynamic tasks at the nanoscale, such as cooling, heat-to-work conversion, and quantum thermometry. The starting date is flexible (around September 2020), and the position is fully funded for 4 years.
