Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has a vacancy in the Algorithms and Complexity research group for a postdoctoral researcher.
'''Joint post-doctoral fellowship: Institute of Physics of Sao Carlos of University of Sao Paulo and School of Mathematical Sciences of The University of Nottingham.'''
Applications are invited for a one-year postdoctoral position to work on a joint project between the Institute of Physics of Sao Carlos of University of Sao Paulo and the School of Mathematical Sciences of The University of Nottingham.
This full-time post is available from 1 July 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter, and has a fixed-term duration of 12 months.
The cold atoms group at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham, UK, is looking for a motivated experimentalist to join our work on photonic quantum memories. In this project, we will implement elementary quantum operations with collective excitations of an atomic ensemble. By miniaturising ensemble based quantum memories and integration in an atom chip environment, we will explore routes to expand such operations to universal quantum computation with multi-mode memories, best described as holographic quantum computing.
The Technical University of Dortmund has an opening for a PostDoc working on the implementation of photonic quantum memories on the basis of rare-earth ion crystals. The successful candidate should design an implement experiments that store photons in the crystals, convert them to nuclear spin degrees of freedom and protect them against environmental perturbations. The project is integrated in the EU-ITN CIPRIS (http://www.cipris.eu/).
Research Fellow in Quantum Information and Simulation with Rydberg Ions
University of Nottingham - School of Physics & Astronomy
£27,854 - £36,298 per annum, depending on skills and experience. Salary progression beyond this scale is subject to performance
The Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw invites applications for two research positions in quantum physics and quantum optics. The positions are funded from the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme project PhoQuS@UW: Fostering Excellence in Photonics and Quantum Science which aims at expanding experimental and theoretical research in widely defined optics and quantum physics including quantum optics and quantum information, ultrafast optics, atto-science, photonics, biophotonics, plasmonics, and related areas of research.
A 2-year Postdoctoral position in Theoretical Quantum Optics of Quantum Many-Body Systems is available at the University of Oxford. The deadline is 19 May 2013.
The project’s target is merging quantum optics and many-body physics of ultracold quantum gases, using theoretical methods of atomic and condensed matter physics. The post-holder will address phenomena, where the quantum natures of both light and ultracold matter play equally important roles.
