Quantiki

The Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group, at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire a Post-doctoral Research Fellow. The position is available to start in January 2019 (earlier also possible), and is renewable beyond the first year.

The candidates are expected to have research experience in at least one of the following areas: quantum information theory, quantum computation, open quantum systems, quantum matter, quantum gravity.

Application timing

The project is to carry out theoretical research on the physics of atoms coupled to optical photons in waveguides. This research is conducted within the ErBeStA-consortium which is formed by European experimental and theoretical research groups.

The Institute of Physics at the University of Sao Paulo is inviting applications for an Assistant Faculty position in the field of
Quantum Information. This includes quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum metrology, and their correspondent physical implementations, as well as the possible relations of Quantum Information Science with fundamental physics through areas such as holography and topological materials. The Institute intends to boost its presence in Quantum Information Science and this position is a first step in that direction.

A new UNSW Scientia PhD Scholarship is available to work on the topic "Quantum parameter estimation and system identification for quantum technologies".

The quantum group in Malta is looking to recruit an experienced postdoctoral researcher in the field of topological optomechanical devices. This is a two-year position funded by the Julian Schwinger Foundation.

This project aims to investigate optomechanical arrays as a platform for the amplification, processing, and routing of phonons. This programme is based on work pioneered recently by Dr Vittorio Peano on topological effects in such arrays, with the possibility to be involved in experimental explorations as well.

The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applicants for a PhD position at the CTP PAS financed by the National Science Center through the Sonata BIS grant „Optimality, universality and controllability in the theory of quantum computing”, project number UMO-2015/18/E/ST1/00200. The principal investigator of the project is prof. Adam Sawicki ( www.cft.edu.pl/qmath/asawicki ). The topic of the research project is related to foundations and mathematics of quantum computation.

A well-funded UNSW Scientia Scholarship is available in a theoretical PhD project to study quantum communication via space (satellites). The scholarship is fully funded for 4 years, covers all university tuition fees, carries a paid annual stipend of $40k, and an additional research/travel budget of up to $10k per year (all AU$). This is open to applicants from any nationality.
