QuSoft and the Algorithms and Complexity group of CWI has a vacancy for a talented postdoctoral researcher on the subject of computer-science aspects of quantum computing and quantum information theory.
Job description
We are looking for new postdoc who has the sufficient background to work closely with one or more of the senior members in our group, and at the same time can bring their own character to the research. The position is initially for one year, with possible extension. The preferred starting date is 15 October 2018.
Our group has expertise in multiple related theoretical areas including quantum walks, iterated open quantum systems and quantum optics. We also have a strong cooperation with an experimental group on optical realizations of quantum walks.
Experimental Post-Doc Position in Quantum Metamaterials
The Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group, at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire a Post-doctoral Research Fellow. The position is available to start in January 2019 (earlier also possible), and is renewable beyond the first year.
The candidates are expected to have research experience in at least one of the following areas: quantum information theory, quantum computation, open quantum systems, quantum matter, quantum gravity.
Application timing
The project is to carry out theoretical research on the physics of atoms coupled to optical photons in waveguides. This research is conducted within the ErBeStA-consortium which is formed by European experimental and theoretical research groups.
The quantum group in Malta is looking to recruit an experienced postdoctoral researcher in the field of topological optomechanical devices. This is a two-year position funded by the Julian Schwinger Foundation.
This project aims to investigate optomechanical arrays as a platform for the amplification, processing, and routing of phonons. This programme is based on work pioneered recently by Dr Vittorio Peano on topological effects in such arrays, with the possibility to be involved in experimental explorations as well.
We have reopened for applications to a theory postdoctoral position at the University of Sheffield working with Dr Earl Campbell (https://earltcampbell.com/). The applicant should have a research interest in developing new architectures for quantum computation using topological codes (e.g. surface and colour codes) and other LDPC codes (e.g. hypergraph and homological product codes).
Topics of interest include:
- Design of new LDPC and topological error correction codes.
- Single shot error correction.
The Physics department at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, is looking to employ a full time Post Doctoral Fellow in theoretical condensed matter physics for a fixed term two year position with a possibility for extension. The focus of the research will be in topological states of matter, systems out of equilibrium, open systems, and light-matter interaction.
We are looking for a postdoc with experience in experimental quantum and/or nonlinear optics. Possible projects are:
- Quantum metrology with nonlinear interferometry
- Generation of photon triplets through a direct cubic nonlinear process
- Physics at the boundary of quantum and nonlinear optics: nonlinear effects pumped with quantum states of light, extreme events, interaction of light with matter.
Applicants should send to maria(dot)chekhova(at)mpl(dot)(mpg)(dot)de a recent CV and the names of two persons who can provide letters of support.
Deep Quantum Labs is in the ongoing process of a expansion planned over the next several years as we continue to establish resident based international leadership in several core areas of theory related to quantum computation, tensor networks, Hamiltonian complexity and quantum machine learning.
