We are looking for talented early-career scientists with strong track record in experimental and theoretical quantum physics join the our efforts in quantum information processing using bosonic modes, both in theory and experiments.

The research groups of Profs. Thierry Bastin and John Martin are offering a new joint theoretical postdoctoral position in the field of quantum entanglement. The research project is encompassed in a large national effort aiming to prepare Belgium for the new era of quantum technologies via the Excellence Of Science (EOS) grant “Creating Highly Entangled Quantum States in the NISQ era” (CHEQS). This is the second postdoctoral position to be filled in this framework.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the areas of quantum foundations and quantum cryptography at QICI Quantum Information and Computation Initiative of the Department of Computer Science, The University of Hong Kong.

You will develop theoretical schemes for quantum-enhanced sensing of novel phenomena such as gravitational effects in massive quantum superpositions, as well as the quantum aspects of gravity more generally. Particular emphasis is to be placed on the experimental feasibility of these schemes in interferometric and other setups on optical, mechanical, optomechanical or other platforms. Consequently, it will also develop methods of combating decoherence effects in these schemes, for instance by employing strategies from quantum information science.

We offer you an exciting and varied role in an international and interdisciplinary working environment. The position is initially for a fixed term of 2 years, with possible long-term prospects. Salary and social benefits will conform to the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service (TVöD-Bund) depending on the applicant’s qualifications and the precise nature of the tasks assigned to them.
