One of the remaining puzzles in modern physics is the transition from quantum to classical physics. While many models, like decoherence, have been proposed, experimental tests remain very challenging. One of the most promising avenues for observing quantum effects at a macroscopic scale has been through optomechanics in which the radiation pressure of light is used to probe and control the dynamics of mechanical oscillators.

Quantum Technologies of the University of Hamburg announces a PhD position in theoretical
physics.
General description: The main goal of the project is to model and investigate theoretically the potential of spin-photon interfaces for quantum information processing. Such devices consist of single spins coupled to light propagating in waveguides, or photonic circuits : in these so-called "one dimensional atoms", light matter interaction is so strong that the spin state leaves a macroscopic imprint on single photons having interacted with it.
The Quantum Computing Lab in the Centre for Quantum Computation and Intelligent Systems at the University of Technology, Sydney invites applications for PhD positions. We currently have a range of scholarships available for Semester 1 2015 (commencing in the first few months of 2015).
Shikano group invites applications to fill a few visiting students or posdocs for the current research activities. Shikano group hosted the visiting students and posdocs as seen in http://qm.ims.ac.jp/members_en For this visiting post, Shikano group widely opens the opportunities to the current research project.
the Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems
invites applications for PhD fellowships offered in the list listed below:
Nuclear Theory Group invites applications to fill one or two doctoral positions. Applicants for these positions must have a M.Sc. degree, or foreign equivalent, and some experience in research in theoretical nuclear physics or condensed matter theory. Prospective candidate should have an interest in computational methods, and their application to solve physical problems. The successful candidate will join the international group working on the theoretical description of low energy nuclear reactions, dynamics of quantum gases and nuclear matter in neutron stars.
Topic: Precision Spectroscopy on laser-cooled ion Coulomb crystals for atomic clocks.
The Quantum Information Group (GIQ) of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, UAB, offers a 3-year PhD position within the project RaRQIP (Resources and Restrictions in Quantum Information Processing) funded by the ‘Programa Estatal de Fomento de la Investigación Científica y Técnica de Excelencia’.
We seek promising PhD candidates and offer a stimulating environment to pursue research projects oriented along four possible research tracks: i) Quantum Statistical Inference; ii) Entanglement and quantum correlations in high-dimensional (and thermal) systems; iii) Quantum Shannon Theory
The Institute for Logic, Language & Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam, and the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) are looking for a PhD candidate in the area of quantum cryptography.
