We are excited to advertise 11 3-year positions for PhD degrees to begin in 2024 as part of the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network (MSCA DN) CaLiFornia “Cartan and differential geometry, Lie theory, quantum groups and noncommutative geometry For novel and Innovative Applications to quantum algorithms and geometric deep learning”.

A three-year senior post-doctoral position is available in the group of Alexia Auffèves (CNRS-MajuLab-CQT, Singapore), as part of the project BACQ funded by the French Quantum Strategy. The post-doc will build standards of energetic efficiencies for full-stack quantum processors and study the conditions for energetic advantages of quantum nature in a systematic way. She/he will develop an open numerical platform to estimate these efficiencies, providing new optimizing methods of research and development for industrial end-users and new figures of merit for quantum benchmarking.

We are inviting application for a PhD position in Quantum Matterwave Optics.

The Cretan Matter Waves Group on Crete is one of the leading European Groups in Atomtronics and Matterwave Optics. We have recently built the first fully coherent waveguide for matterwaves, which we published in Nature. In this system, we used a novel gravito-magnetic matte wave lens to demonstrate delta-kick cooling down to a temperature of a few piko-Kelvins.

You will work on some of the most exciting and advanced experiments on quantum mechanics and ultra-cold atoms anywhere.
You will be part of an international, dedicated, and closely-knit team of young scientists.
You will receive excellent training. You will attend dedicated EU training schools. You will be working closely with some of the leaders in the field.
You will have the opportunity of placements in high-tech quantum companiesl
Last, but not least Crete is a wonderful island, a beautiful place to live.

We are looking for highly motivated scientists to work on experiments with superconducting qubits. These positions will be funded by the European Research Council (ERC) through the Advanced Grant „Millimeter-Wave Superconducting Quantum Circuits” - Milli-Q. The goal is to develop novel superconducting quantum circuits which are operating at frequencies one order of magnitude larger than those demonstrated until now, going up to the 100 GHz frequency range, introducing numerous advantages, including:

I am recruiting one PostDoc in my group at Inria Saclay, Ecole Polytechnique near Paris. PhD and master thesis candidates are also welcome to apply. As part of a new dynamic INRIA Team located in Saclay, you will have the possibility to collaborate with other quantum information researchers in Paris area and abroad.

mm-Wave photonics in crystals – This project aims to create a new laser-based approach for generating frequencies of increased spectral purity and wider frequency range. This is significant as forefront areas such as quantum sensing and wireless communications that rely on ultra-precise measurement and ultra-sensitive detection require more adaptable, higher-purity, frequency sources.

I am glad to announce a Postdoc position (extendable) at the Physics Department of the University of Florence. The position is funded by the PRIN project STARTrAP “Scalable Telecom quAntum emitteRs with TRAnsPortable single-atom traps on a fiber-tip”, in collaboration with Dr. Maja Colautti (CNR-INO, National Institute of Optics) and Prof. Francesco Scazza (University of Trieste, Department of Physics).

Deadline: 26th March 2024

In the recent past, it has been established beyond doubt that by leveraging the unique quantum properties of sub-atomic particles, information can yield unparalleled advantages in diverse disciplines of information processing including computing, communication, cryptography and control. In fact, protocols such as quantum key distribution accomplish tasks hitherto believed impossible. Notably, these protocols have been demonstrated in practice and research is underway to scale them up. We are shaping up towards emergence of a new age in information processing.
