PostDoc

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member in the field of experimental circuit quantum electrodynamics (CQED) based emulation of open quantum system dynamics, quantum information and quantum emulation. You will apply expertise in design, fabrication, characterization and control of CQED systems in collaboration with theory teams to realize platforms for direct quantum emulation of open quantum system dynamics. This position is in the Quantum Coherent Device Physics group, Condensed Matter Section, of the Physics Division.

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member in the field of high performance computing (HPC) simulation of open quantum system dynamics, quantum information and quantum emulation. You will apply your background and knowledge in HPC, numerical simulation of quantum systems and interest in working with experimental teams to realize platforms for quantum emulation. This position is in the Quantum Coherent Device Physics group, Condensed Matter Section, of the Physics Division.

The project is to carry out research on the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of many-body system, for example cold atomic gases, quantum optical systems or classical colloidal systems. One focus will be on the study of the emergence of correlated states and collective phenomena in the presence of dissipation and/or (coherent) driving.

Multiple PhD and postdoc positions are available for topics in quantum computing and simulation.

Here are current topics of Molecular quantum dynamics and information theory laboratory (M-Qudit Lab.):
1. Quantum resource theory for quantum/classical computational complexity
2. Quantum simulation for molecular systems
3. Quantum algorithm for quantum chemistry
4. Open quantum dynamics
5. Molecular quantum processors

We're looking for a research scientist, permanent position, in the field of quantum computing, more precisely:
-classical quantum simulation on HPC sytems
-quantum programming, in particular compilation techniques, optimisation of quantum circuits

The quantum nanophotonics and biosensing lab at U. New Mexico (PI: Victor Acosta) seeks highly motivated postdoctoral candidates for a project to develop novel optical NMR platforms based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. This is a highly multidisciplinary project that combines new techniques in optical nuclear polarization and NMR microscopy using NV centers in diamond nanostructures. The goal is to develop a microfluidic NMR microscope with high sensitivity and resolution.

2-year post-doc position will be devoted to study of fundamental bounds and optimal protocols in quantum metrology in presence of realistic noise models in optical and atomic systems both in single and multiparamter problems as well as investigations of connections between quantum metrology and quantum thermodynamics.

Post-doc position will be financed under the project “Photonic, Atomic and Thermodynamic Processes from a Quantum Metrological Perspective” financed by the Polish National Science Center under SONATA BIS programme.

The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS, http://quics.umd.edu) is seeking exceptional candidates for the QuICS Hartree Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Information and Computer Science.

This is a fellowship scheme funded by Aberystwyth University, the Welsh Government and the European Union. It is aimed at researchers with 3-5 years post-PhD experience (no exceptions) and comes with a 2 year appointment. To be eligible, you have to have spent no more than 12 months in the UK over the last three years (0 months is fine!), and applications can be from anywhere in the world.

Two postdoctoral fellowships and two PhD student positions are available in the Baugh group at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), University of Waterloo. We anticipate 2-year postdoctoral appointments, with the possibility of a 3rd year, contingent on performance and funding. These appointments may begin as early as September 2017. Excellent candidates are sought with an experimental background in semiconductor devices, nano- and micro-fabrication, and cryogenic transport measurements. A PhD in Physics, Applied/Engineering Physics or closely related fields is required.
