Quantum communication is a translational technology that will make an impact on society long before quantum computation will. First commercial offerings of secure quantum communication solutions based on heavily attenuated laser pulses are already on the market. In this project, we plan to design a compact quantum communication system that could be deployed onboard a low-Earth-orbit satellite. The security of all communicated data will be at the forefront of the new design. The project will be largely theoretical in nature.

We are offering multiple postdoctoral positions to well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a stimulating environment. The successful candidates will be joining the group led by Christian Schilling which is part of the Chair of Theoretical Physics -- Quantum Matter together with Ulrich Schollwöck, Lode Pollet and Fabian Grusdt. The research of our group is concerned with the interface of Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Many-Body Physics.

The research team “Quantum Chaos in Many-Body Systems”, led by Dario Rosa, is looking for postdoctoral fellows willing to join the group.

Quantum- and physics-inspired optimization has attracted lots of attention in recent years, as fundamentally novel paradigms towards solving large-scale combinatorial problems. The underlying principle is to encode a given problem into the natural dynamics of physical systems, and to achieve potentially stronger convergence and higher precision through careful external control. Physics-inspired optimization algorithms, such as coherent Ising machines and simulated bifurcation, mimic the dynamical properties of physical systems on conventional hardware – with the goal to inherit certain features, such as natural convergence towards low-energetic states. At Huawei, we investigate a wide range of topics related to quantum- and physics-inspired optimization, from the most fundamental mathematical structures, deep understanding of physical models, to high-performance implementation of novel optimization architectures.

We have openings for talented early-career scientists with strong track record in experimental and theoretical quantum physics and are ready to take up a leadership role in the group to spearhead new research initiatives. As part of the team, there will be ample opportunity to explore your own ideas and participate in grant-writing processes.

Potential projects for experimentalist include: bosonic superconducting quantum systems, quantum error correction, materials for quantum computing, implementation of quantum algorithms on qudits, and many more!

1 year (up to 3 years) Post-doc position in cold atoms group in Krakow supervised by Jakub Zakrzewski with close collaboration with project leader Maciej Lewenstein's group as well as other groups in Dynamite (M. Aidelsburger, F. Jendrychowski, P. Hauke, T. Esslinger). More details on http://chaos.if.uj.edu.pl/~kuba/ additional info jakub.zakrzewski@uj.edu.pl.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc for the quantum information experimental research with trapped-ion systems.

We have two research topics (with supporting grants);
- An efficient ion-photon interface for quantum network
- A full-stack trapped-ion based quantum computing system with up to 5 qubits.

Proven expertise in AMO experiments and/or embedded systems will be valued.

If you're interested, please send me your CV and Statement of Research to Junki.kim.q@skku.edu.

Two postdoc positions are available at the Center for Quantum Research and Technology at the University of Oklahoma, one in AMO experiment and one in AMO theory. Open until filled.

Postdoc position in theoretical quantum information science is available at the Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies (QOT) at the University of Warsaw. Successful candidate will work within the project ExTRaQT (Experiment and Theory of Resources in Quantum Technologies), funded by the QuantERA ERA-NET Cofund in Quantum Technologies. ExTRaQT is a consortium of mathematicians, theoretical and experimental physicists as well as molecular spectroscopists that will develop the theoretical and experimental foundations for quantum resource manipulation and, in a close collaboration across these fields, demonstrate experimentally key elements of quantum scale heat engines and apply these concepts to gain new insights into quantum dynamics of bio-molecular systems.

The Trapped Ion Quantum Technology group at Stockholm University invites applications for two postdoctoral positions on our trapped Rydberg ion experiments. The first position is to work on our existing room-temperature experimental setup to perform fast, parallel quantum gates in longer ion strings. The second position is to set up a novel cryogenic Rydberg ion experiment.
