quantum thermodynamics

Open PhD and Postdoc positions in the Levy group.
Positions are open until filled.

Description:
The Quantum Thermodynamics Group in the Department of Physics at UMBC invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work under the mentorship of Dr. Sebastian Deffner. This postdoctoral position is part of the newly founded Maryland Quantum Thermodynamics Hub, which is generously supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

Competitive 3-years PhD fellowship within the program "INPhINIT doctoral fellowships - Incoming" to work with Gonzalo Manzano at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, IFISC (UIB-CSIC), Mallorca, Spain.

PhD project on "Information and Quantum Thermodynamics".

We are seeking motivated and talented experimentalists and theorists, at both PhD and postdoctoral level, to join an international consortium funded by the EU’s Quantum Flagship. Positions are available at three European institutions: Trinity College Dublin, the University of Murcia, and Oxford University. Postdoc positions are available from November 2022 (with some flexibility on the start date) and are funded for 3 years, subject to satisfactory performance. All positions come with a generous allowance for travel and computational equipment.

The research team “Quantum Chaos in Many-Body Systems”, led by Dario Rosa, is looking for postdoctoral fellows willing to join the group.

Quantum- and physics-inspired optimization has attracted lots of attention in recent years, as fundamentally novel paradigms towards solving large-scale combinatorial problems. The underlying principle is to encode a given problem into the natural dynamics of physical systems, and to achieve potentially stronger convergence and higher precision through careful external control. Physics-inspired optimization algorithms, such as coherent Ising machines and simulated bifurcation, mimic the dynamical properties of physical systems on conventional hardware – with the goal to inherit certain features, such as natural convergence towards low-energetic states. At Huawei, we investigate a wide range of topics related to quantum- and physics-inspired optimization, from the most fundamental mathematical structures, deep understanding of physical models, to high-performance implementation of novel optimization architectures.

The Quantum Technology group at Queen's (QTeQ, https://web.am.qub.ac.uk/wp/qo/) seeks to appoint a postdoctoral research fellow to undertake theoretical research in non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum processes. The two-year post, funded by EPSRC, is available from or around 1 January 2021. The position can be further extended, subject to performance.

For further information, please contact Mauro Paternostro at m.paternostroATqub.ac.uk. Details available from the QTeQ website.

We are having an opening for a post-doctoral scholar in the area of theoretical quantum mechanics, with a focus on ultracold gases (weakly or strongly correlated), quantum information, quantum thermodynamics or any related area. More information can be found at
