PostDoc

The University of Surrey 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 position is to research high-frequency properties of devices incorporating topological insulator (TI) materials with focus on charge and light-matter based probes. The position is part of an EC project HiTIMe. The outcomes will also be directly relevant to other nano-electronic devices utilizing TI materials, such as hybrid devices for quantum information processing, sensing and metrological applications.

Experimental post-doctoral position in quantum sources
We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the development of new sources and applications of entangled photons. The research activities will be performed at the University of Glasgow, in the group led by Dr Matteo Clerici (Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics) and in collaboration with Profs Daniele Faccio and Robert Hadfield (Quantum Sensors).

Spin qubit theory group of Łukasz Cywiński at IP PAS (Warsaw, Poland) seeks a postdoc who will join the ongoing work related to the NCN grant „Theoretical foundations of qubit-based environmental noise spectroscopy - quantum vs classical and Gaussian vs non-Gaussian noise” devoted to theoretical research on using qubits as sensors of environmental fluctuations.

TheBlinQC 3-years Post-doctoral Fellowship at IT Lisbon

The Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group, at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the context of the QuantERA project TheBlinQC – Theory Blind Quantum Control. This three-years position is available to start in early 2018.

A range of PhD and PostDoctoral positions are available for TheBlinQC (Theory-Blind Quantum Control). Areas include Theory and Control of Opto-Mechanical Systems, Experiments with Rydberg Crystals, Experimental Opto-Mechanics with a Levitated Nano-Sphere, Quantum Control Theory, Theory of Many-Body Physics, in particular time crystals, and Control Theory, in particular Kalman Filters. Locations are Olomouc, Stuttgart, Vienna, Aberystwyth, Kraków, Lisbon and London.

The IQT group at Griffith University (Brisbane) is currently looking for a post-doc starting in 2018. The research project will be on continuous variable quantum information in waveguide. The ideal candidate should have experience in quantum optics and integrated photonics. But a strong background in one of this two area is sufficient. The position is for 2 years and the candidate will be part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (http://www.cqc2t.org/).

We invite applications for experimental and theoretical post-doctoral researchers in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, Bose-Einstein condensation, matter-wave interferometry, atomic spectroscopy, atom vapor cells, and Quantum Physics in general. We offer a highly stimulating and energetic environment for experimental and theoretical atomic physicists [http://www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip/Papers/Papers.htm]. Qualified applicants will receive very competitive offers, including generous re-location packages.

We are offering up-to-3-years post-doc position to well qualified and highly motivated young theoretical physicist on a topic intersecting quantum simulations, cold atoms and quantum tensor networks, as well as a PhD-student opening, in the group of Prof. Jacek Dziarmaga, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland.

The QUEST (QUantum Enhanced Sensing Techniques) lab in the Weizmann Institute of Science invites enthusiastic applicants for graduate studies (PhD) or post-doctoral research stay to combine physics, chemistry and some engineering in the emerging field of quantum sensing.

The lab specializes in the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond as its quantum sensor, and will apply it to the study of molecule structure, intra- and inter-molecule reactions and couplings.

Successful candidates will formally join the Feinberg school and will need to adhere to its rules and regulations.

Quantum Key Distribution Theory (QKD), Theory Postdoctoral Positions

These positions will be available immediately in Professor Lütkenhaus’ Research group. You will be working with a team of researchers in project to develop and to apply new tools to derive the security analysis of QKD protocols relevant to deployment in optical communication networks. The projects take place in collaboration with other international leading academic and industrial partners in satellite and fiber optics networks.
