Quantiki

The subject is the theoretical description of the thermodynamics of nanoscale systems, with a particular focus on quantum effects, the role of information, and the statistical properties of thermodynamic quantities such as work, heat and entropy production. The emphasis will be on gaining fundamental knowledge about non-equilibrium, few-body dynamics, correlations, and fluctuations in nanoscale systems where quantum mechanics plays a key role.

We are looking for extraordinary and motivated candidates for a postdoc position in theoretical quantum computing.

The position will be implemented within the group of Michał Oszmaniec in Center for Theoretical Physics PAS in Warsaw. The group is founded form the project "Quantum computers of the near future: challenges, optimal of implementations and applications" (https://nisq.eu/) awarded by Foundation for Polish Science.

A PhD position available now in the group of Prof. Jarek Korbicz within OPUS project "Novel approach to decoherence and information transfer studies in open quantum systems" founded by the National Science Center of Poland.

A post doc position is available in the lab of Dr. Louis Bouchard at UCLA to work on magnetic resonance (ESR, NMR) projects related to quantum science. Our group has pioneered the development of magnetic resonance techniques to probe condensed matter phenomena in topological insulators, crystalline insulators, Dirac semimetals, topological superconductors, etc.  Some of these materials are now being developed for topological quantum computing.  In recent years we have also had interest in gas phase diffusion phenomena and associated non-Markovian effects.

One to two postdoc positions until filled.

(1) The theoretical quantum optics and ultracold atoms group led by Hsiang-Hua Jen is hiring postdoctoral researchers to investigate the subjects of quantum interfaces, non-Hermitian physics, open quantum systems, Rydberg-atom-based quantum computation, cavity-QED, strongly correlated systems, and spinor BEC. The group is based at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences of Academia Sinica (inside National Taiwan Univ.) at Taipei, Taiwan.

Job description:
The postdoc will theoretically analyze quantum non-Gaussian states necessary for quantum technology applications, derive measurable criteria for their evaluation and propose new experiments to test them in laboratories. The target is to identify sufficiently robust quantum non-Gaussian features for specific applications and suggest their preparation and verification. The new EXPRO project of Czech Science Foundation will support this activity for five years. The postdoc may collaborate with our trapped-ion laboratory (Dr. Lukas Slodicka). Prof. Dr. Radim Filip will lead the project work and will be a mentor for this position.

Reduction of electronic power consumption and elimination of losses, which cause the generation of parasitic heat, are key for reducing energy demands of digital processes and can be achieved through developing advanced functional materials and novel computational methodologies. This includes paradigms beyond traditional CMOS ‘von Neumann’ computing executing Boolean logic towards quantum computing and is underpinned by new materials.

The University of Stuttgart and the Research Center SCoPE offer 13 PhD positions within the new DFG Research Training Group 2642
“Towards Graduate Experts in Photonic Quantum Technologies.”

Starting date: April 1st 2021
Applications can be submitted at any time until all positions are filled.
