PhD

We are looking for the PhD student to work in Quantum Cybersecurity and Communication Group at the newly created International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT), funded by the Foundation for Polish Science, and hosted by the University of Gdansk. The broad aim of the Quantum Cybersecurity and Communication Group is to perform research concerning quantum phenomena which could be used for quantum methods for information transfer, coding and processing, aimed towards applied physics and possible commercialization.

We seek excellent, highly motivated PhD students to join our theoretical quantum technology research group led by Prof. Markus Müller. Our group recently relocated to the Institute for Quantum Information at RWTH Aachen University and the Peter-Grünberg-Institute for Theoretical Nanotechnology at the Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany.

We are seeking two highly motivated PhDs students to join our research group in Theoretical Quantum Physics at the LMU Munich. The candidates are expected to have strong analytic skills, ideally with a background in fermionic quantum systems and reduced density matrices. Mathematical Physicists are encouraged to apply as well. Our projects are concerned with the interface of Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Many-Body Physics. We resort to analytic approaches partly complemented/guided by computational studies to gain universal insights into interacting quantum many-body systems.

A recent discovery has shown that it is possible to confine light at length scales much below the conventional diffraction limit in semiconductors. Previously, this was only considered possible in metals through the excitation of plasmons, which unfortunately are associated with large optical losses. This new discovery opens tremendous possibilities for realizing a new regime of strong light-matter interaction, with important applications in quantum technology as well as the “holy grail” of integrating photonics and electronics.

We have open PhD projects within an evolving area of nanophotonics, funded by an ERC Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. The overall goal of the project is to explore, experimentally as well as theoretically, new types of nanophotonic devices based on so-called Fano resonances. These devices have rich and interesting physics, largely unexplored, with the potential to drastically reduce the quantum noise of nanolasers and increase their speed.

PhD positions in theoretical quantum information science are available at the Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies (QOT) at the University of Warsaw. Successful candidates will work in a team of theoretical physicists on one of the following topics:
- Quantum resource theories
- Quantum communication and quantum computation
- Open quantum systems

Hi all,

we are looking for a PhD student, to work on DFG project 432788384 "The Quantum Satisfiability Problem: Algorithms and Complexity-Theoretic Hardness". Required qualifications are a background in quantum computation and/or a strong background in Linear Algebra. Backgrounds in complexity theory, algorithms, and algebraic geometry are considered strong assets. Students from math, physics, or computer science backgrounds are all welcome.

PhD position in experimental quantum physics with Rydberg atoms
in the Exotic Quantum Matter Group at the University of Strasbourg, France

Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship (UK/EU priority) to commence in October 2020.

Title: Quantum simulation of complex quantum processes on superconducting qubits

The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Technology, and will be supervised by Dr Jaewoo Joo, Dr Arseni Goussev and Dr Andrew Burbanks.

We are looking for motivated PhD students or postdocs to join the group of Dr. Yuan Haidong at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The group works in the field of quantum information, quantum control, quantum metrology, and other quantum technology. The group is theoretical but works closely with experimentists.
