Quantiki

At the Hector Fellow Academy you get the opportunity to realize a self-developed research project under supervision of Hector Fellow Prof. Immanuel Bloch. The Hector Fellows are a community of outstanding professors from different research institutions across Germany. They have been honored by the Hector Foundation for their merit in research and teaching within natural sciences, informatics, mathematics, medicine / psychology and engineering. At the Academy they pass on their expertise to prospective young scientists.

In the group of Prof. Uwe R. Fischer at Seoul National University a position is open in the field of quantum many-body physics of ultracold gases, using the numerical method MCTDH-X. Possible topics include the application of the obtained quantum many-body states to quantum metrology and sensing, as well as many-body localization and the exploration of the properties of fragmented condensate many-body states.
Initial appointment is for one year with a possible extension to two years. Salary is according to the Korean postdoc scale.

We are currently offering a PhD position in the context of the ITN Marie Curie International Training Network OMT (http://www.omt-etn.net/) on optomechanics.

The project will support development of hardware and systems software for the integration of quantum and classical communications in optical networks. This will entail work on and around the interface between quantum key distribution (QKD) technology and high speed optical network transport.

You will preferably have a PhD in a technological / engineering area relevant for telecommunications and / or advanced high speed optical networking. Significant experience in these areas may be considered in lieu of a PhD.
