PhD

Applications for a PhD position to work in Belfast under the supervision of Dr Alessandro Ferraro and Prof Mauro Paternostro, funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND training programme, are open until 21 July 2017. The project would be developed in strong and close collaboration with the experimental linear-optics group led by Profs Fabio Sciarrino and Paolo Mataloni at Sapienza Universita' di Roma.

In the process of setting up a new quantum optics theory group, I am searching for outstanding PhD students to work on the following topics
- Quantum simulation with quantum optics setups, in particular of lattice gauge theories
- Design of protocols for measuring entanglement in cold quantum gases
- Theory of quantum many-body systems (non-equilibrium dynamics, periodically driven systems, exotic quantum phases, characterization through entanglement)

Details for the PhD position:

The Quantum Information Science group at the University of Warwick is seeking a PhD student starting October 2017 in the area of quantum enhanced imaging. This is a theoretical project funded by QUANTIC (UK National Quantum Technology Hub in Quantum Enhanced Imaging). By exploring possibilities of modifying source and/or detector characteristics, the project aims to design microscopy schemes with resolution not limited by Rayleigh’s criterion.
