Quantiki

We are pleased to announce the availability of a PhD position at the University of Nottingham in the area of Quantum Technologies related to the creation of an atom-photon interface. The aim of the project is to create a single device, which allows the optimal connection of photons to cold atoms for quantum optics and quantum information experiments. To this end we use a transparent microchip with embedded waveguides, where atoms in a magneto-optical trap can be stored close to the chip surface.

Looking for fresh phd or experienced post-doctoral fellow to work in an experimental ion trap group having diverse projects. The candidates will be working on ion trap based quantum thermodynamics and quantum synchronization (2 separate position). The ion trap experiment is presently up and running (please consult the webpage for more information). Both the projects are adequately funded for next 3-4 years. The group is young and vibrant with international composition in the cosmopolitan setup of Singapore.

The KZN node of the South African National Institute for Theoretical Physics (NITheP) has one postdoctoral vacancy in the field of Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Information Processing and Communication.

The rapidly developing field of quantum technologies is set to have a transformative impact on core enabling technologies, from sensors to communications. There is a need for the crucial research that will develop new methods to enable the shift from laboratory devices and prototypes into manufacture and deployment. As part of a strategic investment in quantum systems engineering by Loughborough University, five fully funded PhD studentships are available in the area of Quantum Systems Engineering for Quantum Technologies.

The Quantum Information Group (GIQ) of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, UAB, offers a postdoctoral position within the project RaRQIP (Resources and Restrictions in Quantum Information Processing) funded by the 'Programa Estatal de Fomento de la Investigación Científica y Técnica de Excelencia'. The appointment will be for a one year term, (possibly) renewable for a second year.

We offer two Ph.D. student positions in the project ''New fundamental bounds on correlations of a strictly quantum nature. Various definitions of quantumness and their mutual relations''.

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions to work with Dr Gerardo Adesso on an ERC Starting Grant project entitled “Genuine quantumness in cooperative phenomena” funded by the European Research Council. The principal goal of the project is to analyse and challenge the quantum-classical border from a jointly fundamental and applicative viewpoint. The project is expected to deliver novel tools for the characterisation of quantumness in composite systems and to develop novel platforms for its practical utilisation in quantum technology applications.
