Quantiki

The NQI is happy to announce the availability of 6 fully funded PhD studentships.

Prospective students will be part of a cohort starting in October 2024 and benefit from common activities and allocated travel/conference funding.

We are looking for highly motivated students with an interest in the following experimental and theoretical/mathematical topics (examples):

We are advertising a fully funded PhD position on Quantum Graphs, jointly supervised by Ion Nechita (LPT Toulouse) and Adrian Tanasa (LabRI Bordeaux). Please see the attached document for the details. The PhD position will start in October 2024. Candidates should provide a motivation letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, transcripts of academic records, and names and email addresses of two references.

PhD Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to join us in developing quantum memories based on alkali atomic gases. The project will involve testing various protocols to optimize memory performance, focusing on efficiency, photon storage time, capacity, and fidelity. The expected duration of the project is 5 years.

Applications are invited for a PhD position on quantum causality, focussing on the characterization of nonclassicality in the presence of (definite and) indefinite causal order. The position is funded by the QuanTEdu-France (France 2030) project at Aix-Marseille Université in the Calcul Naturel (CANA) team of the computer science lab, Laboratoire d’Informatique et des Systèmes (LIS). The project will be supervised by Ravi Kunjwal (Marseille) with co-supervision by Ognyan Oreshkov (Brussels).

For the newly established research group on quantum cryptography led by Ramona Wolf at the University of Siegen (Germany), we are looking for a motivated PhD student or Postdoc. Possible research topics include:

• Security proof techniques for quantum key distribution, in particular those related to quantum steering
• Quantum random number generation
• Entropic uncertainty relations and their use in QKD
• Quantum foundations

Applicants for a PhD position are expected to have

We are looking for candidates to fill an experimental PhD or postdoc position at the Quantum hacking lab led by Vadim Makarov at Vigo quantum communication center. We need candidates with background in electrical and optical engineering, applied physics, electronics, optics, or telecommunications. A successful applicant will be employed full-time at the University of Vigo, Spain.
