Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea
The Quantum Information and Computation Initiative (QICI) of the Computer Science Department at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) invites applications for PhD Fellowships for the academic year 2021/2022.
QICI is home to a vibrant research community, organised in two research groups led by Professors Giulio Chiribella and Ravi Ramanathan. We support an open research culture, where original thinking and academic merit are encouraged and nurtured.
The mission of QICI is to promote the growth of the quantum information area in Hong Kong, and to develop Hong Kong as an international research hub for quantum information and computation.
QICI has been established in November 2018 under the auspices of the HKU Department of Computer Science. Its research platform consists of 3 research teams working on quantum information theory, quantum cryptography, quantum gravity, and quantum foundations.
We at Atomionics are actively expanding our team as we develop the next generation of quantum sensing systems. Atomionics is building portable atom interferometry based sensing solutions using laser cooled atoms for navigation and resource exploration.
There are currently openings for FOUR 3-6 month long internship/apprenticeship positions under the Singapore Government Summation program.

Period of Internship - Dec 2019 to June 2020
Modern physics has been founded by the development of two fundamental theories in the first half of the 20th century: general relativity and quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics governs the physics of the small fundamental particles such as electrons; general relativity describes large objects with gravitational interactions such as stars and galaxies. Despite the great success of modern physics in explaining most of our physical observations, there are a number of open, unanswered questions.
Description of tasks
Study of fundamental bounds and optimal protocols in quantum metrology in presence of realistic noise models in optical and atomic systems both in single and multiparamter problems as well as investigations of connections between quantum metrology and quantum thermodynamics.
The candidates have to conform to the conditions stated in art. 113 of Higher Education Law dated 20.07.2018 (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2018, item 1668).
Requirements:
Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Poland
Research topics:
- Quantum limits to optical interferometric protocols in presence of decoherence
- Fundamental limits to stability of atomic clocks using matrix product operator techniques
- Many-body and non-linear effects in quantum metrology
- Connections between quantum estimation theory and quantum thermodynamics
- Connections between quantum estimation and quantum communication theories
- Multiparameter quantum estimation and quantum imaging
I am happy to announce a call for two 20-month Post-Doc positions in my project entitled:
"Photonic, Atomic and Thermodynamic Processes from a Quantum Metrological Perspective" financed by Polish National Science Center under SONATA BIS programme.
Scope of research for the project include:
Quantum simulation is an exceptionally vivid field of research embracing several areas of physics, ranging from atomic, molecular, and optical physics, to condensed-matter, nuclear, gravitational and high-energy physics, as well as quantum information science. The goal of quantum simulation is to address important, yet unsolved quantum Hamiltonians by “synthesizing” them in experimental quantum systems so as to directly measure the properties of these models, otherwise very hard to be handled by classical computations.
