This postdoctoral work will tackle the crucial question of the practical security of QKD systems. Indeed, while QKD can theoretically be proven absolutely secure, practical implementations may suffer from technological and protocol-operational imperfections that an attacker could exploit in order to compromise the security of the key establishment.

Research interests

Continuous variable entanglement

Mutipartite entanglement and distribution of entanglement

Quantum state reconstruction

Controlled collisions of atoms in Bose Einstein Condensates

Fundamental issues on quantum information

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the University of Nottingham, UK. The Ultracold Atoms Group is the youngest group in the School of Physics and Astronomy. It is part of the Midlands Ultracold Atom Research Centre (MUARC), formed together with the Cold Atoms Group at The University of Birmingham. We started our work in 2008 and now have several laboratory setups with ultra-cold atomic gases.

Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics is a strong center of theoretical physics. It is especially known for the achievements of its employees in the field of quantum optics and quantum information theory (profs. Michal Horodecki, Ryszard Horodecki, Marek Zukowski) mathematical physics (profs. Wladyslaw Adam Majewski, Robert Alicki) and others with considerable achievements.

We are currently offering postdoctoral positions and a PhD position to highly motivated and well-qualified young researchers who intend to enhance their career in the field of quantum information science, quantum many-body theory or quantum optics. The successful candidates will work in the research group for quantum information theory led by Prof. Jens Eisert at the University of Potsdam and the Institute for Advanced Study Berlin in the Berlin-Potsdam metropolitan area.
