PostDoc

The research group (http://iqoqi.at/en/group-page-romero-isart) led by Oriol Romero-Isart at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (Innsbruck, Austria) announces the opening of two PostDoc positions in Theoretical Quantum Optics. The appointment is for 1+1 years with the possibility of further extension. We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic researchers with an excellent scientific record. Women are particularly encouraged to apply.

This fellowship is offered through the Macquarie University Node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) [http://equs.org/]. The position is for 24 months from the start date and is available now. The Fellow will conduct independent research and work with EQuS researchers at Macquarie University under the supervision of A/Prof Gavin Brennen, Prof. Jason Twamley, and Dr. Thomas Volz.

In the theory group of Prof. Uwe R. Fischer at Seoul National University, there is an opening for a Postdoc position for one year, with a possible extension by another year. Possible research topics are novel quantum phases in optical lattices, dipolar gases with strong correlations, the many-body physics of fragmented condensates, dynamical quantum phase transitions, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism of topological defect creation, and quantum state transfer in hybrid quantum systems.

Five new Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) posts are available in the area of quantum technologies, based in the newly established EPSRC Quantum Communications Hub which is led by the University of York, UK. The £24m five-year Hub, directed by Professor Tim Spiller, involves eight universities - Bristol, Cambridge, Heriot-Watt, Leeds, Royal Holloway, Sheffield, Strathclyde and York (lead). Private sector partners include BT, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd (TREL).

The Aberystwyth Quantum Control group wishes to appoint a Research Associate to work on the EPSRC-
funded project “Control Characterisation of Noisy Quantum Devices”. The successful applicant
will design and run quantum control algorithms for noisy quantum systems. The post is for a
fixed term of up to 16 months and is available from 1 April 2015 or as soon as possible.
Prospective applicants may discuss the post informally with Dr Daniel Burgarth (e-mail: dkb3@aber.ac.uk).

A postdoctoral position in the research area of theoretical quantum optics/cold atoms/atomic physics/condensed matter to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a stimulating surroundings. The successful candidate will be member of the research group led by Prof. Jakub Zakrzewski at Marian Smoluchowski Institute of Physics, Jagiellonian University.

ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, (Barcelona, Spain), a research center devoted to research and education of the optical and photonic sciences at the highest international level, is offering a postdoctoral position in the research area of experimental quantum optics to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.

Group: AtomChip Laboratory (www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip)

Deadline: until positions are filled.

We invite applications for post-doctoral researchers in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, and atom spectroscopy. We offer a highly stimulating and energetic environment for experimental and theoretical atomic physicists and very competitive offers for both domestic and international applicants, including generous re-location packages. Applicants should have extensive experience in atomic physics and ultra-cold atoms.

There are postdoc positions available in Mathematical Physics/Quantum Information Theory in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University in Munich (Germany). Applicants should be

• mathematicians, theoretical physicists or computer scientists,

• interested in mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, quantum information theory and/or other fields of quantum theory and its foundations,

• willing to contribute to undergraduate math education.

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in the group of Andris Ambainis at the Faculty of Computing, University of Latvia. Our research group is interested in the following research topics:
- quantum algorithms and complexity theory;
- quantum communication, quantum information theory and cryptography;
- connections between quantum computing and classical computer science (using ideas from quantum information to solve classical problems);
- using ideas from quantum information to study physical systems.
