Topological states exhibit protected currents and robust localization that can stabilize unique functions in stochastic and biological systems. This exciting and growing field opens fundamental theoretical questions in non-Hermitian and dissipative physics with new mathematical and physical properties.

A key challenge in quantum computing involves dealing with errors which may arise from environmental noise or imperfections in the hardware. Error mitigation and correction strategies are essential to the development of practical quantum computing devices. In recent years, photonic quantum computing has emerged as a promising platform for quantum computing and demonstrating a genuine quantum advantage. Quantum states of light (QSoL) are robust to environmental noise and can be easily manipulated and measured using simple optical components at room temperature. Additionally, QSoL can be transmitted over long distances using optical fibres, which makes them an attractive option for quantum communication and networking.

The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials is a joint PhD program between the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany, Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St Andrews, Scotland. We seek to recruit multiple PhD students in 2024 to a range of inter‐institutional research projects in the broadly defined field of quantum materials, specifically with a focus on condensed-matter physics and solid-state chemistry.

We are a newly started laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. We will create interfaces between cold atoms, light and motion using nanofabricated devices. We will use these devices to create quantum states of mechanical motion. If you have a passion for highly collaborative, experimental research and want to learn advanced technical skills ranging from nanofabrication to atomic and optical physics, this is for you! For more information, see thethe job advertisement or our laboratory website.

Applications are invited (on a competitive basis) for PhD scholarships (Government of Ireland funded) in theoretical quantum computation, at University of Galway. Areas of interest include quantum algorithms, quantum walks and quantum games. For initial enquiries, please email michael.mcgettrick@UniversityOfGalway.ie
