PostDoc

Two postdoctoral positions are available to work in the newly founded Thermodynamics and energetics of quantum systems group (QuSys) in the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland lead by Prof. John Goold. The successful candidates must hold a PhD degree in physics, theoretical physics or applied mathematics. The research interests of the group are available on the group website:

A significant effort is currently being deployed by CEA-LETI and its partners, aimed at providing a layout and integration scheme for CMOS-based silicon qubits in view of a large-scale integration. In this context, a 2-year postdoctoral position is currently available in quantum error correction protocols, with applications to fault-tolerant quantum computing. The successful candidate will demonstrate the capacity for high-quality research and relevant experience in quantum information theory and quantum error correction.

A postdoctoral position for a highly qualified person completing his or her PhD in 2018 will be available starting in September. See the project at:

The University of Surrey is looking to employ a full time Post Doctoral Fellow in theoretical condensed matter physics for a fixed term two year position with a possibility for extension. The focus of the position is to research high-frequency properties of devices incorporating topological insulator (TI) materials with focus on charge and light-matter based probes. The position is part of an EC project HiTIMe. The outcomes will also be directly relevant to other nano-electronic devices utilizing TI materials, such as hybrid devices for quantum information processing, sensing and metrological applications.

Experimental post-doctoral position in quantum sources
We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the development of new sources and applications of entangled photons. The research activities will be performed at the University of Glasgow, in the group led by Dr Matteo Clerici (Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics) and in collaboration with Profs Daniele Faccio and Robert Hadfield (Quantum Sensors).

Spin qubit theory group of Łukasz Cywiński at IP PAS (Warsaw, Poland) seeks a postdoc who will join the ongoing work related to the NCN grant „Theoretical foundations of qubit-based environmental noise spectroscopy - quantum vs classical and Gaussian vs non-Gaussian noise” devoted to theoretical research on using qubits as sensors of environmental fluctuations.

TheBlinQC 3-years Post-doctoral Fellowship at IT Lisbon

The Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group, at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the context of the QuantERA project TheBlinQC – Theory Blind Quantum Control. This three-years position is available to start in early 2018.

A range of PhD and PostDoctoral positions are available for TheBlinQC (Theory-Blind Quantum Control). Areas include Theory and Control of Opto-Mechanical Systems, Experiments with Rydberg Crystals, Experimental Opto-Mechanics with a Levitated Nano-Sphere, Quantum Control Theory, Theory of Many-Body Physics, in particular time crystals, and Control Theory, in particular Kalman Filters. Locations are Olomouc, Stuttgart, Vienna, Aberystwyth, Kraków, Lisbon and London.

The IQT group at Griffith University (Brisbane) is currently looking for a post-doc starting in 2018. The research project will be on continuous variable quantum information in waveguide. The ideal candidate should have experience in quantum optics and integrated photonics. But a strong background in one of this two area is sufficient. The position is for 2 years and the candidate will be part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (http://www.cqc2t.org/).
