PhD position on architectures for distributed quantum computation

Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) is a unique English-speaking international graduate only research university, located just outside of Moscow. Established in collaboration with M.I.T., Skoltech integrates the best Russian scientific traditions with twenty-first century entrepreneurship and innovation.

Job description: Research assistant (PhD-student) with 67% part-time job, limited to 3 years.
Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L FU. Research in theoretical physics, with a focus on the theory of engineered quantum systems and quantum information processing, assistance with teaching at the physics department of the Free University Berlin.

MSU’s Center for Quantum Technology has a long established track record in experimentally demonstrating optical quantum information processing.  The research is accelerating as the center assumes the leading role in a National Technology Initiative (NTI) Focused on Quantum Technologies.

We invites applications for different positions in experimental or theoretical studies of dark matter detection with optical atomic clocks. The candidate can choose between:

the Theme 1: Dark matter direct-detection experiments with the sensor network made of optical atomic clocks,
the Theme 2: Development of a new generation of optical sensors with enhanced detection limit for the variations in fine structure constant and other fundamental constant

The Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies, established under the International Research Agenda Programme operated by the Foundation for Polish Science and hosted by the Centre of New Technologies, University of Warsaw, seeks to fill several junior research positions in the Quantum Technologies Laboratory led by Professor Konrad Banaszek. Current research effort in the Laboratory covers problems related to quantum optical communication, quantum metrology, and quantum imaging.

We have an opening for two 27-month Ph. D. student positions in foundations of quantum mechanics / quantum information theory at the University of Gdańsk, Poland with starting date 1st October 2018.

The position will be financed under the project “Quantum correlations – from few to many particles” founded by the Polish National Science Center under BEETHOVEN programme.

Scope of research for the project include:

Atom-photon interfaces for fibres and photonic chips

Efficient atom photon interfaces are the basis for quantum computers, fibre networks or miniaturised quantum sensors. Photons are ideal systems to create entangled states or to carry quantum information, while atoms are well suited for information storage or to mediate interactions between photons.
