PhD

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to the new edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies (DP-PMI), starting in February 2017.

The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training in the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information sciences and technologies, namely in:

PhD Project to implement spin qubits based on silicon-germanium structures

Center for Quantum Devices is offering a PhD scholarship commencing December 1. or as soon as possible thereafter.

The last year has seen tremendous advances in fabricating spin qubit devices from group IV semiconductors. This PhD project will investigate spin qubits realized in natural and isotopically purified silicon-germanium heterostructures. The objective is to create ultra-coherent qubit devices that can be controlled, coupled, and read out in a scalable geometry.

The Center for Quantum Devices and Station Q Copenhagen is looking to hire one or more PhD students to work on realizing superconducting multi-qubit devices to function as a small quantum computer. The realization will be based on gatemon technology controlled by FPGA-based waveform generators. Projects ranging from nanofabrication, device testing, to building classical control electronics are available.

PhD Project to implement silicon-on-insulator Spin qubits

Center for Quantum Devices is offering a PhD scholarship commencing 1 December or as soon as possible thereafter.

I offer a 32-month position for a Ph.D. student, as a part of the Polish National Center for Science grat "Quantum multi-level systems: from simpler description to more advanced experiments". The Ph.D. student will be awarded a stipend of 3000 PLN (750 USD) monthly, with an extension dependent on receiving further funding. Concerning low costs of life in Poland, this amount is sufficient for survival. The grant is realized in Gdansk, Poland.

The Center for Quantum Devices and Station Q Copenhagen is looking to hire one or more PhD students to work on experimental implementation of majorana fusion rules and braiding of Majorana fermions. Applicants should have a background in Physics with either a Masters degree (for the regular PhD program), one year of Masters-level coursework (for the 4+4 PhD program), or an undergraduate degree in Physics from a US university (for the 3+5 PhD program).

We invite applications for post-doctoral researchers in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, and atom spectroscopy. We offer a highly stimulating and energetic environment for experimental and theoretical atomic physicists and very competitive offers for both domestic and international applicants, including generous re-location packages. Applicants should have extensive experience in atomic physics and ultra-cold atoms.

We are currently offering a PhD position to a highly motivated and well-qualified student who intends to enhance his or her career in quantum information theory. The successful candidate will work as part of the research group led by Jens Eisert at the FU Berlin. For an overview of the research activities of the group, see

Led by the University of York, the Quantum Communications Hub (http://www.quantumcommshub.net) is a partnership of eight universities and numerous private sector companies. The overall aim of the Hub is to develop a range of new, secure, quantum communications technologies. A PhD studentship, supported by EPSRC funding through York, is available to work on high-rate quantum communications, based at the Department of Computer Science, University of York.
