PhD

Project Description:

Applications are invited for a PhD position in theoretical quantum physics, to start between March 2024 and September 2024. The position will be hosted by the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (DIAS) and the student will be registered in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The position is fully funded for 4 years.

Research area
-----------------
The position is funded by the SFI Pathways project “Robust and resource-efficient quantum metrology”. There will be opportunities to work on a range of topics including (but not limited to):

Industrial PhD position at Jeppesen linked to Chalmers University of Technology and the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology on the topic “Quantum Algorithms for Near-Term Technology: Potential and Limitations”.

This is a permanent employment offer at Jeppesen, a subsidiary of The Boeing Company, and one of the largest software development companies in Gothenburg (Sweden).

A PhD position is available in the group of Prof. Stefan Willitsch at the University of Basel (Switzerland) on the development of quantum technologies for single trapped molecular ions and their application in precision spectroscopy.

The goal of this PhD project in theoretical quantum information with bosonic (continuous-variable) systems is to explore new ways to quantify the resourcefulness of bosonic states and operations, in regard to their capability to provide quantum advantage for computation. Several measures allowing to quantify the amount of resourcefulness exist. Many of them were inspired by quantum optics for the choice of the experimentally accessible operations. With this PhD work, we wish to connect to the current experimental capabilities in microwave devices, and to provide new measures of resourcefulness that are rather inspired by microwave experimental capabilities.

Fully funded PhD positions are available at the Department of Mathematics at the University of York. In particular, students intereseted in pursuing a PhD in quantum information and foundations are welcome to apply with the quantum information and foundations group. Possible research directions include (but are not limited to) Bell non-locality and device-independence, causality and contextuality, randomness and quantum cryptography, foil theories of quantum mechanics, quantum measurement theory, and convex optimisation.
