Applications are invited for the above post to work with Professor Gerardo Adesso on an ERC Starting Grant project entitled “Genuine quantumness in cooperative phenomena” funded by the European Research Council. The principal goal of the project is to analyse and challenge the quantum-classical border from a jointly fundamental and applicative viewpoint. The project is expected to deliver novel tools for the characterisation of quantumness in composite systems and to develop novel platforms for its practical utilisation in quantum technology applications.

Applications from highly motivated researchers are welcome for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. Adolfo del Campo in the Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts Boston.

Open position for Postdoctoral Fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) in the group of Asst. Prof. Dario Poletti.

We are looking for somebody with experience with Matrix Product States (or similar) to study the dynamics of manybody quantum open systems with particular emphasis on transport issues. The position is for 2 years.

In conjunction with Leonardo MW Ltd, the Department of Computer Science is offering a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of York. Quantum detection is an emerging field which has been applied in the optical domains and is now being scaled to microwave frequencies to make “quantum radar”. A theoretical exploration of the subject is needed to determine the potential improvements in detection performance (e.g. range and robustness against noise) which quantum technology offers when compared to current “classical” detection methods.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the Functional Materials Group at the University of Kent, under the supervision of Dr Gunnar Möller. We are looking for candidates with enthusiasm for numerical simulations to join an EPSRC funded research project. In this project, we will investigate the equilibrium and non-equilibrium many-body physics arising in time-reversal invariant topological band structures based on density matrix renormalisation group methods.

Applications are invited for one Postdoctoral Research Assistant to study mechanisms of energy transport in multi-chromophore systems in the quantum information science group of Dr. Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick, UK.

The post is available initially for fixed-term duration of 24 months, with extensions of 12 or more months contingent on additional funding. The starting date is expected to be no later than September 01, 2017.
