Quantiki

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.

As part of the £80m UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Metrology (http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/generic/quantum/index.aspx), we are seeking applications for 12 4-year PhD studentships to work on the development and application of high-precision quantum sensors of magnetic fields for biomedical imaging, rotation for navigation, and gravity for underground mapping.
