Dear colleagues,

Development and experimental evaluation of innovative classical and quantum optical communication systems
------------------------
What we expect from you

A PhD position is available to work in the Quantum Correlations Group of the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Geneva under the joint supervision of Dr. Martí Perarnau-Llobet and Prof. Nicolas Brunner. The project is of theoretical nature and aims at optimising several thermodynamic tasks at the nanoscale, such as cooling, heat-to-work conversion, and quantum thermometry. The starting date is flexible (around September 2020), and the position is fully funded for 4 years.

We seek up to two highly motivated, skilled and independent researchers to join our research group at CQT and NUS ECE.

The research/postdoctoral fellows are expected to focus on, but not limited to, (1) the development of security proof techniques for realistic quantum cryptography schemes and (2) the development of verification toolboxes for quantum coherence and quantum correlations (nonlocality, entanglement, etc.) in quantum networks. We highly encourage candidates who are interested in both discrete and continuous variables systems to apply.

The York Centre for Quantum Technologies (YCQT) is an interdisciplinary centre that includes activities in the departments of Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics and Physics. YCQT also hosts the leadership of the UK Quantum Communications Hub, with Professor Tim Spiller as the Director of both the Centre and the national Hub. The Quantum Communications Hub has been awarded further EPSRC funding for a five-year Phase 2 through to 2024. This new Hub collaboration will again be led by York.

Open Postdoc Fellowships at the Erwin Schrödinger Centre for Quantum Science and Technology (ESQ)

For our group at the University of Siegen (Germany) we are looking for a motivated PhD student or postdoc in the field of quantum information theory, foundations of quantum theory, and quantum optics. The group is led by three PIs (Otfried Gühne, Matthias Kleinmann, and Stefan Nimmrichter) and the research topics include:

The Quantum Information Group (GIQ) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) offers a postdoctoral position within the project C'MON-QSENS!
(Continuously Monitored Quantum Sensors: Smart Tools and Applications) funded by QuantERA EU program in Quantum Technologies. The appointment will be for a two years term, (possibly) renewable for a third year.

The Russian Quantum Center (www.rqc.ru) opens a position of a group leader in the domain of Coherent Microoptics and Microwave Photonics. The candidates are expected to have a long standing experience of working in experiments in this domain and in supervising students and young researchers.

Prospective PhD students are invited to apply for a PhD position within the project “Quantum dynamics of impurities with long-range impurity-bath interactions”.
