PhD

Topic: Precision Spectroscopy on laser-cooled ion Coulomb crystals for atomic clocks.

The Quantum Information Group (GIQ) of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, UAB, offers a 3-year PhD position within the project RaRQIP (Resources and Restrictions in Quantum Information Processing) funded by the ‘Programa Estatal de Fomento de la Investigación Científica y Técnica de Excelencia’.

We seek promising PhD candidates and offer a stimulating environment to pursue research projects oriented along four possible research tracks: i) Quantum Statistical Inference; ii) Entanglement and quantum correlations in high-dimensional (and thermal) systems; iii) Quantum Shannon Theory

The Institute for Logic, Language & Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam, and the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) are looking for a PhD candidate in the area of quantum cryptography.

The Quantum Computing Lab at Virginia Commonwealth University currently has a Ph.D. position available. Tuition and stipend are provided.

Requirements: A background in quantum mechanics or quantum computing is preferred but not necessary; the requirements are a Master's degree in theoretical computer science or a related field (such as mathematics), elementary linear algebra (vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors), and mathematical maturity.

A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of Quantum Systems Engineering for Enabling Emerging Technologies. The rapidly developing field of quantum technologies looks set to have a transformative impact on core enabling technologies from sensors to communications. There is a need for fundamental research that will enable the shift from laboratory devices and prototypes into manufacture and deployment. The aim of this project is to investigate the suitability of systems engineering methodologies to the development of reliable quantum devices.
