Quantum state tomography and quantum process tomography provide a mathematical groundwork to deduce quantum states and characterize quantum processes from measured data. However, quantum state and process tomography require an exponential number of measurements to reconstruct density or process matrix of a 2^n -dimensional system of n qubits. In this research program, we plan to investigate different approaches to develop scalable quantum tomography techniques.

Photons are excellent candidates to encode and transfer quantum information, however, lack of interaction between photons makes entangling operations and therefore nontrivial quantum states difficult to achieve. Mapping photons onto stationary atomic or solid-state systems can be used to mediate interaction between photons. In this research program we plan to use features of Rydberg physics such as the Rydberg blockade effect to induce non-linearity between photons.

Fully funded PhD positions are available for EU citizens in the cold atoms groups at the University of Nottingham, UK.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of York are seeking an outstanding candidate for the role of Associate Lecturer in Mathematical Physics, to enhance our teaching in this area.

The main responsibilities are:

Are you a talented and ambitious researcher? Are you excited about quantum science and technology? Do you enjoy finding working solutions to great challenges? You are then welcome to apply for an open PhD position on "Multi-Qubit Quantum Photonic Devices" in our group at DTU Fotonik.

A fixed-term post-graduate / post-doctoral position is available until the end of March 2021 in the Department of Physics, to work in the group of Professor Tim Spiller, on an Innovate UK- funded project to design and build prototype research-led receivers for satellite QKD.
