PhD

Every year Aberystwyth University runs a competition for PhD fellowships. I'm looking for a candidate to apply with for this competition, with a deadline on 1st of March, and an aim to start their PhD in Autumn. My group currently consists of four PhD students and one PostDoc. Aberystwyth is a beautiful seaside town in Wales with lots of nature around. The fellowship will pay for home/EU fees and provide a stipend for living costs for 3 years. The application involves a research plan which should overlap with my research interests in quantum control, open systems and quantum information.

KG Zloshchastiev's group at the Institute of Systems Science, Durban University of Technology, located in the city of Durban, South Africa, opens the visiting positions for 2017. Visits are funded by the National Research Foundation of South Africa through the Durban University of Technology. There is no formal deadline, applications will be considered until the positions will be filled.

The group is now working on several multi-disciplinary topics, with a strong emphasis on these:

Applications are invited for Government of Ireland Scholarships to study for a Ph.D. at the National University of
Ireland, Galway. Specific topics of interest are quantum games and quantum walks. In the first instance, for more information, please email michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie

Two open PhD positions in Quantum Photonics
Edinburgh, Scotland

We are looking for PhD students to join the quantum information science group of Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick.

1. One position on Sources and signatures of quantum enhanced information processing starting in October 2016. Some flexibility within the areas of research is possible. Deadlines for application are typically in January. Scholarships are available for exceptional international students.

• Preferred qualifications for this position:
  • Background in quantum mechanics and/or quantum computation.

A PhD opportunity to study and design theoretical concepts for quantum computers. Full funding is available to UK/EU citizens. The student will be supervised by Dr Earl Campbell in the department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield.

Hardiman research (PhD) scholarships at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
Stipend is 16,000 euro per year. Phd topics available in quantum walks, quantum game theory, or
possibly other areas of quantum computation. For preliminary enquiries, email

The Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems offers PhD fellowships in:

• Foundations of quantum physics
• Photonic quantum information processing
• Quantum communication & quantum computing
• Ultra-cold atoms & Bose-Einstein condensation
• Solid state quantum optics
• Interferometry with clusters & molecules
• Theory of highly correlated quantum systems
• Micromechanical quantum physics
• Cooling schemes for clusters & nanomirrors
• Cavity QED on microwave transmission lines
• Quantum physics with vacancies in nanodiamonds
• Atoms and molecules

KTH- Nanostructure Physics is seeking applications for a PhD student to work on this project in Stockholm. The successful applicant will analyze and experiment with various schemes for the amplification of microwave signals at the quantum limit of added noise, and with the entanglement of photons in a microwave frequency comb. The goal of our studies is the development of fundamental understanding leading to the long-term goal of applications in quantum information processing, quantum computation and quantum metrology.
