PhD

The Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ) is a joint collaboration
initiative, which currently involves about 25 research groups based at four leading
research institutions in and around Vienna. The aim of the VCQ is to advance
modern quantum science and technology based on a broad and multidisciplinary
research agenda. The topics addressed within VCQ range from the foundations of
quantum mechanics to complex quantum optical and many-body effects and their
application for emerging quantum technologies.

EXPERIMENTAL PHD POSITION: Rydberg atomtronics

An experimental Phd position (3 years) on the control of quantum correlations and phase coherence in systems of cold Rydberg atoms is available. The position is part of the research grant ‘Rydberg atomtronics’, recently funded by the Julian Schwinger Foundation and coordinated by Luigi Amico and Oliver Morsch. The project will be investigating Rydberg atoms as a platform to develop atomtronic circuits with specific operating conditions and performances both to explore basic science and applications to quantum technology.

This project, in collaboration with IBM Research, will develop algorithms for efficient quantum simulation for plasma and fusion physics problems, and establishing their reliability in real-world quantum computers.

The project is ideal for a student interested in a close interplay of quantum computation and simulation with plasma physics.

starting as soon as possible. The position (75% regular working time) entails a fixed-term con- tract for the duration of a PhD project. The successful applicant will be working on a cooperation project at the connection of Theoretical Physics and Experimental Physics. This position is lim- ited to 3 years (according to the German law “Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz“) and includes a teaching responsibility of up to 3 hours per week. The possibility to graduate as a PhD is provided.

A four-year PhD position for EU/UK applicants is available in the Quantum Light and Matter group (https://www.tcd.ie/physics/research/groups/qlamg) at the School of Physics in Trinity College Dublin. The group has a range of interests, including quantum dynamics, open quantum systems, light-matter interactions, and more.

The Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in the School of Physics at Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU), China, invites applications for Master, PhD as well as Postdoc candidates. The IQOQI is one of the leading institutes in the research areas related to quantum optics and quantum information science in China.
