UNIVERSITY OF SALERNO
DEPT. OF MATHEMATICS AND INFORMATICS - QUANTUM THEORY GROUP
RESEARCH in: Theoretical condensed matter, quantum information, quantum optics, and fundamental quantum mechanics
POSITION: Postdoctoral research assistent
ANNUAL SALARY: € 20,000 - € 24,000. Subject to negotiations.
DURATION: Two years. Renewable for a third year.
STARTING DATE: Flexible between November 1st, 2008 and January 1st, 2009.
Aspirants are invited to submit applications for a postdoctoral research assistant to work with Professor Fabrizio Illuminati in the Quantum Theory Group at the Department of Mathematics and Informatics, University of Salerno, Italy. The position is financed within the European Project HIP (Hybrid Information Processing), coordinated by Prof. Illuminati, under the VII Framework Program of the European Union.
The successful applicant will have a strong track record in theoretical condensed matter and/or quantum information. Current topics of research in the group include:1) Entanglement, factorization, and criticality in quantum spin models and quantum many-body systems.
2) Complexity, symmetries, and nonlocal quantum correlations: Effects of chirality, frustration, and topology.
3) Nonequilibrium evolutions and dynamics of quantum phase transitions in optical lattices, arrays of coupled optical cavities, and complex networks.
4) Theory of multipartite entanglement and other fundamental aspects of quantum information.
5) Quantum information with atomic and optical systems.
6) Quantum state estimation, quantum measurements, and quantum metrology.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a brief report on research to date, and the names and e-mail addresses of two or more potential referees that coul be contacted for assessment and recommendation.
Applications should be emailed to:
