The project is to carry out research on the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of many-body quantum system, for example cold atomic gases. 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 and – if possible – their potential use for applications, e.g. quantum information processing.
The Light-Matter Interactions Unit (groups.oist.jp/light) in OIST, headed by Prof Síle Nic Chormaic, invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The focus will be on developing and implementing novel trapping techniques for laser-cooled atoms based on nano- and micro-optics, with emphasis on nanostructured optical nanofibers. Such systems have potential for quantum engineering using neutral atoms. The successful candidate must have previous experience in laser-cooling of alkalis or ion trapping and must have prior, peer-reviewed publications in this field.
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam, The Netherlands; has vacancies in the Network & Optimization research group for one PhD student and one postdoc in the research project:
"Approximation Algorithms, Quantum Information and Semidefinite Optimization".
Two postdoctoral Research Assistant positions are available in the Quantum Computation and Quantum Information research group at the University of Bristol. These positions are associated with a recently funded £1M EPSRC Fellowship "New insights in quantum algorithms and complexity".
Fellow in Experimental Entangled Photon Systems
One position is available for a postdoctoral fellow to develop robust entangled photon systems.
The team of Alexander Ling is working on space-based quantum communication experiments which involve the operation of entangled photon systems on earth-orbiting satellites. A postdoctoral position is available within the scientific team to lead the development of next generation compact and bright entangled photon systems that can work reliably in robust
environments.
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. The research topic, broadly construed, is quantum state transfer in hybrid quantum systems, e.g., constructed from SQUIDs and BECs/Rydberg atoms. Inter alia, the influence of dissipation and the realization of universal quantum gates will be investigated.
