PhD

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.

The Quantum Computing Lab in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University is seeking a motivated PhD student in the area of quantum computation and information. Our lab currently focuses primarily on Quantum Hamiltonian Complexity, though areas such as quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography are also of interest. More information can be found at:

Tuition and stipend are provided.

Research assistants in informatics for the project "Semantic tensor networks for large data sets analysis" needed.
The project will be conducted in Quantum Systems of Informatics Group of Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics, Polish Academy of Sciences in Gliwice.

Ambitious graduates in computer science, physics or mathematics interested in distributed programming, data analysis, quantum information and multi-linear algebra are welcome to apply.

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to the 2015-16 edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies (DP-PMI).

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:
