We are seeking a Research Fellow / Postdoctoral Research Associate in Physics for a physics-chemistry multidisciplinary research program focused on quantum simulations of chemical dynamics using trapped ions. This position is open for both experimentalists and theorists. The research will be collaboratively performed with the trapped-ion experimental group at the School of Physics and the theoretical chemistry group at the School of Chemistry. Base Salary A\$101,507 - A\$140,586 p.a + 17% superannuation.

We are searching for a talented post-doctoral fellow to model the dynamics of quantum light pulses interacting with non-linearities close to the quantum regime induced by a Kerr optical cavity. The candidate will build a complete framework to model light-matter interaction in a fully Hamiltonian way. The theory will rely on the so-called collision method, which has been successfully developed to model the production of entangled qubit-light states in superconducting circuits [1] and semiconducting quantum optical platforms [2]. The derived analytic expressions will be used to fit experimental data and help experimentalists to improve the performances of the device.

Applications are invited (on a competitive basis) for Government of Ireland scholarships for postdoctoral work in quantum computing at the University of Galway. Areas of interest are quantum walks, quantum games and in general quantum algorithms. For initial enquiries please email michael.mcgettrick@universityofgalway.ie
