Quantiki

The quantum group in Malta is looking to recruit an experienced postdoctoral researcher in the field of topological optomechanical devices. This is a two-year position funded by the Julian Schwinger Foundation.

This project aims to investigate optomechanical arrays as a platform for the amplification, processing, and routing of phonons. This programme is based on work pioneered recently by Dr Vittorio Peano on topological effects in such arrays, with the possibility to be involved in experimental explorations as well.

The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applicants for a PhD position at the CTP PAS financed by the National Science Center through the Sonata BIS grant „Optimality, universality and controllability in the theory of quantum computing”, project number UMO-2015/18/E/ST1/00200. The principal investigator of the project is prof. Adam Sawicki ( www.cft.edu.pl/qmath/asawicki ). The topic of the research project is related to foundations and mathematics of quantum computation.

A well-funded UNSW Scientia Scholarship is available in a theoretical PhD project to study quantum communication via space (satellites). The scholarship is fully funded for 4 years, covers all university tuition fees, carries a paid annual stipend of $40k, and an additional research/travel budget of up to $10k per year (all AU$). This is open to applicants from any nationality.

General Scope:

PhD positions open to join our group in Palermo. Please, check the call for applications and choose the competition code 7 (Information and Communication Technologies). Deadline 20th July 2018. Please, contact me if you need further clarifications: rosario.lofranco@unipa.it. See also: https://rosariolofranco.weebly.com/.

We have reopened for applications to a theory postdoctoral position at the University of Sheffield working with Dr Earl Campbell (https://earltcampbell.com/).  The applicant should have a research interest in developing new architectures for quantum computation using topological codes (e.g. surface and colour codes) and other LDPC codes (e.g. hypergraph and homological product codes). 
 
Topics of interest include:
- Design of new LDPC and topological error correction codes.
- Single shot error correction.

The Physics department at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, is looking to employ a full time Post Doctoral Fellow in theoretical condensed matter physics for a fixed term two year position with a possibility for extension. The focus of the research will be in topological states of matter, systems out of equilibrium, open systems, and light-matter interaction.
