POSITION DESCRIPTION
The project includes the design, fabrication and experimental characterisation of solid-state single-photon emitters integrated with photonic circuits to create a scalable high-performance platform for quantum optical signal processing.
PhD and Postdoctoral positions will open in Spring 2019 on different projects related to molecular cavity optomechanics, ultrafast quantum state manipulation in THz-frequency oscillators, and THz to visible wavelength conversion.
Details of the openings can be found at: https://lqno.epfl.ch/openings/
Two postdoctoral fellowships and two PhD student positions are available in the Baugh group at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), University of Waterloo. We anticipate 2-year postdoctoral appointments, with the possibility of a 3rd year, contingent on performance and funding. These appointments may begin as early as September 2017. Excellent candidates are sought with an experimental background in semiconductor devices, nano- and micro-fabrication, and cryogenic transport measurements. A PhD in Physics, Applied/Engineering Physics or closely related fields is required.
Newly established Quantum Technologies Laboratory at the Centre of New Technologies, University of Warsaw, Poland led by Professor Konrad Banaszek seeks to fill five junior research positions (Postdoc, PhD scholarships, student scholarchips) supported by the project Quantum Optical Communication Systems starting on 1 December 2016.
One of the remaining puzzles in modern physics is the transition from quantum to classical physics. While many models, like decoherence, have been proposed, experimental tests remain very challenging. One of the most promising avenues for observing quantum effects at a macroscopic scale has been through optomechanics in which the radiation pressure of light is used to probe and control the dynamics of mechanical oscillators.
Our goal in the Centre for Quantum Photonics is to explore fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, as well as work towards future photonic quantum technologies by generating, manipulating and measuring single photons as well as the quantum systems that emit these photons, with a focus on scalable integrated optics devices.
Lead by Prof. Jeremy O'Brien, the Centre spans the School of Physics, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information, at the University of Bristol, UK.

The Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw invites applications for research fellowships and research professorships in photonics and quantum science. The eight positions to be filled are funded from the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme project PhoQuS@UW: Fostering Excellence in Photonics and Quantum Science which aims at expanding experimental and theoretical research in widely defined optics and quantum physics including quantum optics and quantum information, ultrafast optics, atto-science, photonics, biophotonics, plasmonics, and related areas of research.
ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Castelldefels (Barcelona, Spain), is offering a predoctoral fellowship to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic graduate student who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment, as well as to obtain a doctoral degree in Photonics. The students at ICFO benefit from the extensive course offerings of local universities and focused instruction by ICFO professors while carrying out research activities at ICFO groups with local and international collaborators.
The symposium is intended to intensify the link between the basic research areas of photonics and atomic ensembles. Leading scientists in the fields of quantum communication protocols, quantum memory and quantum repeaters, atomic ensembles, Rydberg atoms and photonic QIP will discuss new promising approaches to quantum information and communication technologies and their physical challenges.
