We are looking for a post-graduate student to join the newly formed quantum information theory group of Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick. The goals of this theoretical project are first, to better understand the fundamental limits to precisions attainable in measurements, and second, to propose new techniques that use quantum physics to provide enhanced precisions. The student should be interested in a close interplay between concepts from theoretical quantum physics and techniques from mathematics. A willingness to engage in discussions with experimentalists at Warwick and elsewhere would also be essential.
