This interdisciplinary project involves applying the quantum formalism (QF) to model experimental observations of human emotional memory performance, and the neural systems that support it, to better understand the interaction between elements. The quantum formalism provides a natural mechanism for modelling combinations of difficult-to-reconcile memory effects, such as the question order effect (where changing question order may change the respondent’s answer) and the response replicability effect (where repeated presentations of a question produce the same response across contexts). Conversely, the paradoxical temporal effects often observed in human memory performance mean it may provide a useful theatre for observing analogies of quantum phenomena we cannot access directly.

One senior postdoc position is available in the theoretical quantum optics group at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The position will be part of the quantum internet alliance which is a European project aiming at building large-scale quantum networks. The postdoc will participate in designing and modelling the prototype quantum internet that is scheduled to be built at the end of the project. Additionally, the successful candidate may work on other activities within the area of theoretical quantum optics, quantum networks and quantum information.

Two Fully Funded PhD Positions in Quantum Information and Thermodynamics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.

The primary objective is to develop a novel method for quantum tomography, with opportunities to pursue side projects in quantum thermodynamics.
