I offer a 32-month position for a Ph.D. student, as a part of the Polish National Center for Science grat "Quantum multi-level systems: from simpler description to more advanced experiments". The Ph.D. student will be awarded a stipend of 3000 PLN (750 USD) monthly, with an extension dependent on receiving further funding. Concerning low costs of life in Poland, this amount is sufficient for survival. The grant is realized in Gdansk, Poland.
The objectives of the grant are studying new formalisms describing higher-dimensional systems and using them to construct new entanglement criteria, and possibly Bell inequalities. We would also like to find new communication protocols, which can be tested by our foreign partners in Gwermany and Sweden.
Therefore, candidates are expected to know the foundations of quantum mechanics, be fluent in English and familiar to one of programming languages (Wolfram Mathematica (TM) included. They must produce a Master-equivalent diploma from University (preferably in Physics or Computer Science) and gain the status of a PhD student in Gdańsk (entry exam in September).
Documents (Diploma copy+Scientific CV+1 Recommendation letter in English/Polish) or futher enquiries can be sent to dokmwi@ug.edu.pl
The winning bid will be chosen by a Comitte.
