Job description:
The postdoc will theoretically analyze quantum non-Gaussian states necessary for quantum technology applications, derive measurable criteria for their evaluation and propose new experiments to test them in laboratories. The target is to identify sufficiently robust quantum non-Gaussian features for specific applications and suggest their preparation and verification. The new EXPRO project of Czech Science Foundation will support this activity for five years. The postdoc may collaborate with our trapped-ion laboratory (Dr. Lukas Slodicka). Prof. Dr. Radim Filip will lead the project work and will be a mentor for this position.
