PostDoc

We invite applications for experimental and theoretical post-doctoral researchers in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, Bose-Einstein condensation, matter-wave interferometry, atomic spectroscopy, atom vapor cells, and Quantum Physics in general. We offer a highly stimulating and energetic environment for experimental and theoretical atomic physicists [http://www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip/Papers/Papers.htm]. Qualified applicants will receive very competitive offers, including generous re-location packages.

We are offering up-to-3-years post-doc position to well qualified and highly motivated young theoretical physicist on a topic intersecting quantum simulations, cold atoms and quantum tensor networks, as well as a PhD-student opening, in the group of Prof. Jacek Dziarmaga, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland.

The QUEST (QUantum Enhanced Sensing Techniques) lab in the Weizmann Institute of Science invites enthusiastic applicants for graduate studies (PhD) or post-doctoral research stay to combine physics, chemistry and some engineering in the emerging field of quantum sensing.

The lab specializes in the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond as its quantum sensor, and will apply it to the study of molecule structure, intra- and inter-molecule reactions and couplings.

Successful candidates will formally join the Feinberg school and will need to adhere to its rules and regulations.

Quantum Key Distribution Theory (QKD), Theory Postdoctoral Positions

These positions will be available immediately in Professor Lütkenhaus’ Research group. You will be working with a team of researchers in project to develop and to apply new tools to derive the security analysis of QKD protocols relevant to deployment in optical communication networks. The projects take place in collaboration with other international leading academic and industrial partners in satellite and fiber optics networks.

Applications are invited for 2-year postdoctoral position in quantum computation at the National University of Ireland, Galway. We are particularly interested in researchers who would like to work on problems in quantum game theory, quantum walks, or general quantum algorithms. The position carries a salary of 31,275 euro with eligible direct research expenses of 5,000 euro/year. For initial enquiries, please email michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie to discuss research topics.

Postdoctoral position in the fields of quantum computing, quantum information theory, and foundations of quantum mechanics.

The postdoc will work with Prof. Leandro Aolita, who will be a regular visiting fellow at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics - South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP/SAIFR), in São Paulo, Brazil,

Post-doctoral Fellowship
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 early 2018, 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 thermodynamics, quantum matter, quantum gravity.

Position Summary:

We are looking for a postdoc with experience in experimental quantum and/or nonlinear optics. Possible projects are:

- High-gain parametric down-conversion: nonclassical features, nonlinear interferometry, quantum tomography
- Generation of photon triplets through a direct cubic nonlinear process
- Physics at the boundary of quantum and nonlinear optics: nonlinear effects pumped with quantum states of light, extreme events, interaction of light with matter.
