PhD

We are looking for a PhD candidate to contribute to the development of theoretical methods for studying reactive charge-transfer processes. When oppositely charged ions collide, the resulting dynamics cannot be fully described within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In collisions involving molecular ions, not only does charge transfer occur, but molecular bonds may also break or form. These processes are crucial for understanding how molecules are created and destroyed in the interstellar medium, yet our current knowledge of them remains limited.

The Mathematical Institute of SAS in Bratislava offers a PhD position for research in quantum information theory, under supervision of Anna Jenčová http://www.mat.savba.sk/~jencova/index.html. The study is organized in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University, Bratislava.

The Quantum Matter and Information group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) UAM-CSIC invites applications for a PhD position funded by the QUITEMAD project. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Daniel González-Cuadra, focusing on developing quantum simulation algorithms tailored to lattice gauge theories.

We are hiring an experimental research assistant within the Quantum Light and Matter group at Durham, working on quantum sensing with ultracold molecules in optical tweezer arrays. This position is funded by the "UK-Canada quantum for science research collaborations" scheme and there will be opportunities to travel to Canada as part of a researcher exchange program with the University of Waterloo.

International applicants are encouraged to apply and will be eligible for the Durham University Visa Reimbursement Scheme.

The Prasad Research Group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary is seeking motivated graduate students to work in the areas of computational chemistry, quantum computing, and machine learning. The selected applicants will conduct research under the direct supervision of Dr. Viki Kumar Prasad with available projects focusing on leveraging advanced computational methods to solve complex problems in reaction discovery, molecular modeling, and quantum simulations.

We are now accepting applications for the Quantum Center Research Fellowship Programme. These fellowships provide funding for PhD students and postdocs hosted by research groups of the Quantum Center at ETH Zürich.

The fellowships support innovative and original scientific research that aligns with the host group while fostering the fellow's independence. In addition, fellows will help further strengthen the community of PhD students and postdocs at the Quantum Center, for example by organizing technical exchange events or social activities.

Open call for a fully funded 4 year PhD position, supervised by Dr. Anthony Kiely at the School of Physics, University College Cork, Ireland. The project is in the area of theoretical quantum physics, so an undergraduate degree in physics or related discipline is an
essential prerequisite. Experience with quantum optics and programming (e.g. Python, Mathematica etc.) would also be beneficial. The project will investigate new methods for modelling continuous quantum measurements and leveraging these results for quantum feedback control.

The Peter Grünberg Institute for Quantum Control (PGI-8) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, is offering a fully-funded PhD position for three years to pursue unique research on sample-efficient gate calibration methods based on quantum optimal control. The successful candidate will be jointly supervised by Prof. Dr. Felix Motzoi (PGI-8) and Dr. Markus Heinrich (University of Cologne).
