PhD

As part of the QuantaMole consortium, we are interested in studying novel materials with extremely high nonlinearities, as well as their application as potential mediators of interactions between photons. A significant no-go result in this field is that “Single-photon Kerr nonlinearities do not help quantum computation”. We are interested in going beyond this result and study other geometries, configurations and topologies in which new materials can provide the sought-after interactions. This might include resonating geometries, utilizing χ(2) nonlinearities instead of χ(3), and new states of light in which to apply these nonlinear operations with more success.

The Quantum Phonics group, located at the Université de Moncton and led by Dr Lambert Giner, is inviting applications for a graduate student (MSc) to join the project “Characterizing quantum states via non-invasive measurements”.

• Essential requirements:

We invite applications for a (funded) doctoral position in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the ‘Johannes Gutenberg’ University (JGU) of Mainz to work under the supervision of Prof. J. Marino in the NEUQUAM team (https://sites.google.com/view/nequantumuniv).

The University of Exeter (Exeter, South West England) is offering up to 9 fully funded doctoral studentships for September 2024 entry as part of our Doctoral Training Partnership with the EPSRC (Engineering, Physical Sciences Reserach Council).

One such project is "Energy storage at the nanoscale in quantum batteries", a theoretical project in quantum technologies in the group of Dr. Charles Downing ar Exeter. We welcome people interested in open quantum systems and quantum optics to apply.

Currently recruiting a for 3.5 year fully-funded (UK/EU) PhD studentship at the School of Computing, Newcastle University, working on applying quantum foundations for quantum advantage (supervised by Dr Jonte R Hance).
