Open Postdoc Position in Quantum Machine Learning

I am happy to announce a call for two 20-month Post-Doc positions in my project entitled:

"Photonic, Atomic and Thermodynamic Processes from a Quantum Metrological Perspective" financed by Polish National Science Center under SONATA BIS programme.

Scope of research for the project include:

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Mathematical Physics/Quantum Computing in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (Germany). Applicants should have a PhD in mathematics, theoretical physics or computer science, and have a special interest in/prior experience with quantum error correction, as well as continuous-variable quantum information theory.

The newly-funded Center for Quantum Technology of Hsinchu, Taiwan is hiring a postdoctoral researcher working in the area of quantum cryptography. The hired candidate will be based in the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) at Tainan, Taiwan and will be working closely with Yeong-Cherng Liang from NCKU, Kai-Min Chung from the Academia Sinica of Taiwan, and the experimental quantum optics team led by Chih-Sung Chuu from the National Tsinghua University of Taiwan.

QuSoft and the Algorithms and Complexity group of CWI has a vacancy for a talented postdoctoral researcher on the subject of computer-science aspects of quantum computing and quantum information theory.

Job description

We are looking for new postdoc who has the sufficient background to work closely with one or more of the senior members in our group, and at the same time can bring their own character to the research. The position is initially for one year, with possible extension. The preferred starting date is 15 October 2018.

Our group has expertise in multiple related theoretical areas including quantum walks, iterated open quantum systems and quantum optics. We also have a strong cooperation with an experimental group on optical realizations of quantum walks.

Experimental Post-Doc Position in Quantum Metamaterials

The Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group, at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire a Post-doctoral Research Fellow. The position is available to start in January 2019 (earlier also possible), and is renewable beyond the first year.

The candidates are expected to have research experience in at least one of the following areas: quantum information theory, quantum computation, open quantum systems, quantum matter, quantum gravity.

Application timing

The project is to carry out theoretical research on the physics of atoms coupled to optical photons in waveguides. This research is conducted within the ErBeStA-consortium which is formed by European experimental and theoretical research groups.

The quantum group in Malta is looking to recruit an experienced postdoctoral researcher in the field of topological optomechanical devices. This is a two-year position funded by the Julian Schwinger Foundation.

This project aims to investigate optomechanical arrays as a platform for the amplification, processing, and routing of phonons. This programme is based on work pioneered recently by Dr Vittorio Peano on topological effects in such arrays, with the possibility to be involved in experimental explorations as well.
