Quantiki

Research Fellow (Quantum Information Processing/Quantum Many-Body Systems) at Queen's University Belfast

A postdoctoral position is available immediately for up to 33 months (from early September 2013), to undertake theoretical research in quantum effects in mesoscopic systems, including quantum many-body and hybrid systems.

Applicants will hold (or be about to obtain) a relevant PhD in one of the following fields:

• Theoretical quantum optics;

• Theoretical condensed matter physics;

• Theoretical quantum information processing.

The project is aimed at the creation and manipulation of atomic density patterns by contact-free self-assembly due to optomechanical forces. We are looking at large patches (samples size of some millimetres) of laser cooled matter (around 100 µK), which will be structured on scales of wavelengths to hundreds of micrometres. The spatial structure is not imposed externally but evolves spontaneously from an instability of the homogeneous atomic cloud in interaction with a homogeneous light field.
