PostDoc

The Quantum Information Group at the Institute of Theoretical Physics invites applications for positions for two Research Assistants (m/f/d) (Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 75% - 100%) to be appointed as soon as possible. The positions are initially limited to one year with the possibility of extension. These positions are part of different research projects and therefore open for post-doctoral researchers and/or PhD students.

Responsibilities and duties

We offer a 2-years post-doctoral position for a motivated researcher to join our work on spin qubits in silicon carbide (SiC). Colour centres in SiC have recently be shown to uniquely combine excellent spin properties with ultrastable optical transitions for spin-photon interfacing (see, for example, our collaborative work publish in Nature Communications 10, 1954). Our goal is to push the limits in controlling individual electron and nuclear spins in silicon carbide, to demonstrate quantum devices in a technologically-mature semiconductor platform.

The project is to carry out research in broad theoretical areas of classical and/or quantum non-equilibrium physics, including condensed matter, statistical mechanics, atomic physics, and machine learning.

One area of interest will be exploring the connections between methods and ideas of classical and quantum non-equilibrium systems with approaches and techniques in deep learning and neural networks.

Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic, announces a post-doc position in theory of quantum information processing with photonic continuous variables, funded within EU Quantum Flagship and a national research project. The research will be applied to quantum communications and experimental-theoretical collaboration with the leading experimental groups in the field is foreseen. The position is in the Quantum Communications sub-group, led by Dr. Vladyslav Usenko, within the Quantum Optics Theory group of prof. Radim Filip.

Palacky University in Olomouc is announcing the opening of a post-doc position in the field of theory of quantum communication with application to satellite links, within a project funded by the European Space Agency. The research will be primarily focused on quantum key distribution with faint laser pulses and single photon detectors and will include international experimental-theoretical collaboration.

A post-doctoral position is opened at the Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Grenoble (IRIG, formerly INAC) of the CEA Grenoble (France) on the theory and modeling of arrays of silicon-on-insulator quantum bits (qubits). This position fits into an ERC Synergy project, quCube, aimed at developing two-dimensional arrays of such qubits. The selected candidate is expected to start between October and December 2019, for up to three years.

To support young talents on their transition from postdocs to independent researchers, MCQST is offering
Junior Researcher START Fellowships. With a total budget of 300.000 € for a funding-period of
two-years, the fellow has the opportunity to start her/his own scientific project in one of the research areas
of MCQST. The funds are flexible and may be spent in accordance with DFG rules for instrumentations,
staff, consumables, travels as well as for the fellow’s own salary. Laboratory and office space will be provided
by one of the MCQST Principle Investigators (PIs).

The Hannover Centre for Optical Technologies (HOT) invites applications for the position of a

Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d)
(Salary Scale 13 TV-L, 100 %)

starting the next possible date. This fixed-term post is initially available for three years with the possibility of an extension.

The Group led by Prof. Radim Filip at Palacky University (http://muj.optol.cz/filip/) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in quantum parameter estimation with quantum non-Gaussian states of light and matter allowing error correction strategies. Expertise with non-Gaussian and nonlinear quantum optics, quantum cavity/circuit electrodynamics and physics of trapped atoms/ions will be valued, but an open-minded researcher ready for a new challenge is most welcome.
