Postdoctoral research fellow (Autonomous Quantum Coherence and Thermodynamics)

Quantum Nonlinear Physics and Technology Team at the Department of Optics, Faculty of Science, Palacky University in Olomouc announces selection process, is looking for a suitable candidate for a post-doc position

Place of work: Department of Optics
Information about Quantum Nonlinear Physics and Technology Team is at http://muj.optol.cz/filip/
Work load: 1,0 (full-time)
Start of job: February 1, 2020 and later
Duration of the contract: 24-36 months

Job description:

The postdoc will analyze generation and detection of the autonomous quantum coherence, quantum correlations and entanglement (G. Guarnieri, M. Kolář, and R. Filip Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 070401, 2018) and its impact in quantum coherence theory, entanglement theory and quantum thermodynamics. To propose the experiments testing such novel phenomena postdoc will use analysis of atoms, cold trapped ions and solid-state systems based on their nonlinear interaction with a bath, including numerical modelling, and applications in thermodynamical processes like quantum batteries and quantum engines. This research will be supported by the project of the Czech Science Foundation for 3 years. Prof. Dr. Radim Filip is a mentor for this position and PI of the project. The postdoc will intensively collaborate with Dr. Michal Kolář, the theory group at Department of Optics, Faculty of Science, Palacky University Olomouc led by Prof. Dr. Radim Filip, with the atomic experimental group at this department (Dr. L. Slodička) and many partner teams abroad.
