Quantiki

Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellow in the Department of Physics, from as soon as possible for one year, with the possibility of renewal.

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Physics, Mathematics or Computer Science. The appointee is expected to conduct research on theoretical quantum information science and quantum cryptography in the group of Professor H.F. Chau. Enquiries about the duties of the post should be sent to Professor H.F. Chau (e-mail: hfchau@hku.hk).

We currently have an open position for a PostDoc that is supported by our basic funding. We look for a candidate that strengthens our activities in the field of quantum plasmonics and quantum optics at the nanoscale. Beyond this core expertise, the PostDoc shall support and complement our activities in the fields of linear and nonlinear plasmonics, near-field optics, metamaterials, and light propagation in disordered media. More details can be provided upon request.

The Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) at the University of Surrey is looking to employ a full time Post Doctoral Researcher for a fixed term position of two years to participate in the major EPSRC ADDRFSS programme (Atomically Deterministic Doping and Readout For Semiconductor Solotronics) with a potential for extension (project ending is 31 January 2020).

Subject description
In recent years, atomic gases cooled down to extremely low temperatures have emerged as a playground to explore quantum many-body physics in a highly controlled manner. This has led, on the one hand, to the possibility of systematically exploring known models of condensed matter in the lab, and on the other, that new models, with no counterparts in other fields, can be engineered. As an example of the second, cold atomic gases can be held inside optical cavities and coherently interact with the electromagnetic field confined by the resonator.

1 postdoc and 3 PhD student positions are available in this project. We offer good salaries and possibility to work on a wide range of topics. To apply send your CV and a short description of scientific interests to dokmpa@univ.gda.pl Any inquires should be directed to the same address.

Project scope:

Study of quantum information processing in the case when communication and memory are limited to just a few qubits. We are interested in doing this mainly in the context of the three following fileds:

The position involves analytical and computational modelling of laser excitation of semiconductor quantum dots and other systems, devising schemes for the erasure of information stored in those systems, and extending the thermodynamical framework to incorporate the erasure schemes. The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in computational quantum physics preferably with a background in semiconductor quantum dot systems (or similar area of condensed matter physics).

The research group (http://iqoqi.at/en/group-page-romero-isart) led by Oriol Romero-Isart at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (Innsbruck, Austria) announces the opening of two PostDoc positions in Theoretical Quantum Optics. The appointment is for 1+1 years with the possibility of further extension. We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic researchers with an excellent scientific record. Women are particularly encouraged to apply.
