Quantiki

The quantum optics group (Prof. Martin Weitz) at the University of Bonn invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the field of ultracold atomic gases. Our group is among the worldwide few groups realizing quantum gases of rare earth element atoms. The postdoc vacancy is in a laboratory in which we using an atomic erbium Bose-Einstein condensate are working to realize fractional quantum Hall physics with a well-controlled cold atom system.

The Chicago Quantum Exchange(CQE), Computer Science Department (CS) and Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago is seeking exceptional candidates for the Chicago Prize Postdoctoral Fellowship in Theoretical Quantum Science.

Quantum communication via low-orbit satellites offers up a paradigm shift in telecommunications. Providing for unparalleled communication security, this emerging technology will also lead us into the development of the global quantum internet. In this project you will leverage optical quantum communications, quantum error correction, and channel modelling, to deliver novel and optimized quantum communication protocols specifically designed for the satellite-to-ground and inter-satellite channels.

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.
