Quantiki

Post-doctoral Fellowship
The Physics of Information Group, at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire one Post-doctoral Fellow to develop research in one of the following areas: quantum information theory, quantum effects in biology or quantum thermodynamics.

The candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree and research experience in one of the above areas, or in general in: open quantum systems, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, solid state/graphene physics, biophysics, or information processing in biological systems.

Research Fellow in Theory of Control and Quantum State Measurement in Superconducting Circuits
Salary: £29,837 to £32,590
Closing Date: Wednesday 16 July 2014
Reference: 041814

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position starting on 1 September 2014 (or soon thereafter if a later start is required by the successful applicant) to build a quantum mechanical model for non-classical state generation, propagation and measurement

The project is to carry out research on the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of many-body quantum system, for example cold atomic gases. One focus will be on the study of the emergence of correlated states and collective phenomena in the presence of dissipation and/or coherent driving and – if possible – their potential use for applications, e.g. quantum information processing.

Group: AtomChip Laboratory (www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip)

The position (experiment and/or theory) is in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, and atom spectroscopy.

Applicants should have extensive experience in atomic physics and ultra-cold atoms. Very competitive salaries are available, including generous re-location packages.

The Light-Matter Interactions Unit (groups.oist.jp/light) in OIST, headed by Prof Síle Nic Chormaic, invites applications for a postdoctoral position. The focus will be on developing and implementing novel trapping techniques for laser-cooled atoms based on nano- and micro-optics, with emphasis on nanostructured optical nanofibers. Such systems have potential for quantum engineering using neutral atoms. The successful candidate must have previous experience in laser-cooling of alkalis or ion trapping and must have prior, peer-reviewed publications in this field.

A (senior) lecturer position is available at Queen's University Belfast.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on
theoretical aspects related to the many-body physics of ultra cold
atomic ensembles excited to Rydberg states. Potential research
subjects are broad and should fall into the scope of the ERC
Starting Grant 2013 - ESCQUMA. They range from the exploration of
exotic many-body phases and phase-transitions with interacting
Rydberg atoms and the non-equilibrium behavior of open quantum
systems to practical applications of Rydberg atoms in quantum
information processing.
