Quantiki

We are a newly established group at Stockholm University with open PhD and postdoc positions. Research in the group focuses on quantum optics, quantum control and quantum information theory. One major research interest is the interface between gravity and quantum physics at low energies, focusing on how gravity affects quantum optical systems, what novel effects can arise and how to probe them in experiments. The projects may include topics in:

In the Theory of Cold Atoms group of Prof. Uwe R. Fischer at Seoul National University, a Postdoc position is open in the field of quantum simulations of curved spacetimes (analogue gravity).
Possible topics include implementations of analogues of trans-Planckian physics in cosmology and in Hawking radiation, and the proper treatment of the quantum backreaction problem.
Initial appointment is for one year with a possible extension to two years. Salary is according to the Korean postdoc scale.

We at Atomionics are actively expanding our team as we develop the next generation of quantum sensing systems. Atomionics is building portable atom interferometry based sensing solutions using laser cooled atoms for navigation and resource exploration.
There are currently openings for FOUR 3-6 month long internship/apprenticeship positions under the Singapore Government Summation program.

Period of Internship - Dec 2019 to June 2020

Ph.D. and Postdoc positions are available in the integrated hybrid quantum circuits group at IQST University of Calgary.

A PhD-student position is available in the „Young Independent Researcher Group“ lead by Dr. Yelena Guryanova, Dr. Ämin Baumeler, and Dr. Costantino Budroni. This group is inter-institutional; it is affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, as well as with the Department of Physics, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Salary range: £32236 - £39609
FTE: 1.0 (35 hours/week)
Term: Fixed Term until 30/11/2022
Closing date: 30/09/2019

Secure quantum communication over long distances may be enabled by the development of satellite platforms for the distribution of quantum states and entanglement from space. The Chinese satellite Micius has demonstrated the technical feasibility of satellite quantum communication and there are many international efforts to achieve similar capability. Quantum Key Distribution is the prime application but such space systems may be able to support new and novel protocols even more challenging to perform with terrestrial fibre networks.

At Riverlane, we design new quantum algorithms and quantum circuits to simulate highly correlated quantum systems using fewer qubits or gates than anyone else. This is core to what we do and we need people who can produce world-leading research in quantum computing. Riverlane is a quantum computing company based in Cambridge, UK.

Key Aspects of the Role

I have an open postdoctoral position in my group at the University of Chicago in the general areas of theoretical quantum condensed matter, quantum optics and quantum information. Topics of interest include dynamics, control, topology and correlations in driven dissipative quantum systems, with a focus on superconducting circuits (circuit QED). More information on the interests of the group can be found at http://clerkgroup.uchicago.edu.

We invite applications for research associate or postdoctoral associate positions in theoretical Quantum Information Science in the Physics Department of Virginia Tech. The focus of these positions will be on quantum simulation of quantum chemistry and other quantum algorithms and on quantum control, with an emphasis on near-term superconducting qubit devices. There will also be an opportunity to test these theoretical results on cloud quantum processors (Virginia Tech is in IBM’s Q Hub, which provides access to 20+ qubit devices).
