PhD

A postdoc/PhD student position in Germany

A fully-funded postdoc/PhD student position is available to work at Peter Gruenberg Institute (PGI-2) in Forschungszentrum Juelich, near Aachen in Germany. For students the degree will be granted by RWTH university in Aachen. The researcher will work with Dr. Mohammad H. Ansari. The project can be started in the Summer or Fall 2017.

A fully-funded PhD student scholarship is available to work at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information with the University of Technology Sydney in downtown Sydney. The student, who has a strong background and interest in applied mathematics, will do research under my supervision to further develop the mathematical foundations of quantum information theory and to explore applications to quantum cryptography and quantum Shannon theory. More information about my research can be found on my website: www.marcotom.info.

A broad range of PhD projects with a focus on experimental as well as theoretical quantum science are available through the Scottish Condensed Matter Doctoral Training Centre. Full details about the project and application procedure can be found on the CM-DTC website: http://cm-dtc.supa.ac.uk/research/phd_projects.php# .

A PhD scholarship is available for research in topologically ordered phases and their use in quantum devices and topological quantum computation.

The many body problem
-------------------------------------
How is it possible that the same and simple constituent atoms, when joined together, produce such a beautiful and diverse world? One can see this as a consequence of collective emergence, an aspect of physics relevant to several disciplines, from statistical physics to condensed matter, to high energy physics.

We are looking for talented and ambitious UK/EU graduates who wish to pursue a Ph.D. in Quantum Technologies and Quantum Foundations.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Vincenzo Tamma at the Physics Division at the University of Portsmouth, Prof. Gerardo Adesso at the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham, and Prof. David Wands at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, University of Portsmouth

Director of Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics (ITAI) invites young researchers to submit an application to Visegrad Scholarship Program and perform reseaerch at ITAI PAS.

These positions are advertised across specialisations, and include the following possible research topics:

The Quantum Information group led by Prof. Dr. Dagmar Bruss at Institute for Theoretical Physics, Duesseldorf University, Germany, is looking for two doctoral candidates to join the EU‐funded Innovative Training Network QCALL (Quantum Communication for All). One PhD student will conduct a project on "Long-distance quantum key distribution over integrated satellite-repeater links", and the othe one a project about "Multipartite quantum communication systems". Secondments with other network partners and high quality doctoral-level training are provided within the network structures.

Two PhD positions are available at Institute for Theoretical Physics III, University of Duesseldorf, Germany, http://www.thphy.uni-duesseldorf.de/~ls3/ within BMBF-funded German network "Hardware-based quantum security".
