PhD Fellowships in Quantum Science and Technology—Skoltech

Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) is a unique English-speaking international graduate only research university, located just outside of Moscow. Established in collaboration with M.I.T., Skoltech integrates and modernizes the best Russian scientific traditions and offers a host of courses related to quantum science and technology.

PhD Fellowships are now being offered to work in Skoltech’s Deep Quantum Labs – lead by Prof Jacob Biamonte.

Project Title: Continuous Variable Quantum Communication Capabilities for Low-Earth Orbit Satellites.

Project Description
Any application that aims to harness the power of quantum effects will inevitably be plagued by noise due to its surroundings. Generally, this leads to complex dynamics with memory effects, known as non-Markovian dynamics. With the increase of miniaturisation and read-out frequencies, the influence of such effects will become even more prominent in the future. In this project, the successful applicant will investigate the genuinely quantum nature of non-Markovian dynamics.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed term position as a Research Assistant or Post-Doctorate Researcher with the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Closing date for receipt of applications is 5.00 pm, Monday 18th March 2019.
