The project is to carry out theoretical research on the physics of trapped Rydberg ions and atoms within the ERyQSenS-consortium (funded through the QuantERA call) which is formed by European experimental and theoretical research group.
The positions are in the group of Dimitris G. Angelakis (www.dimitrisangelakis.org). We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong research background and a PhD in theoretical quantum optics/physics and/or quantum information and/or quantum many-body physics/quantum condensed matter.
Host Institute: Heidelberg University
Project Supervisor: Prof Fred Jendrzejewski
Starting Date: As soon as possible
Project Description
Quantum simulation has recently established itself as an area of study in quantum physics that merges fundamental and applied questions. Such an interaction results in a more operational understanding of some aspects of quantum mechanics in terms of nature description. The idea to simulate the dynamics of a quantum system by a quantum device was first introduced by Richard Feynman in a seminal article in 1982 and developed in different frameworks, from quantum optics to condensed matter physics.
The CaNa group at Aix-Marseille University is seeking excellent and outstanding candidates in quantum information theory, quantum complex network, quantum simulation. A PhD in Theoretical Physics, Mathematics or Computer Science is required.
The deadline for the PhD position is: 10/15/2016 and the deadline for the PostDoc position is 12/01/2016. If you are interested in one of these opportunities, please send an email to:
European COST Action to develop “A quantum theory of complex and networked systems”
Open webnair 4:00 p.m. GMT – Thursday, June 2
One could argue that the fields of quantum information science and complex network theory (a.k.a. complexity science) both address complexity, yet from opposite perspectives. Indeed, the former makes use of a complex system as a computational resource whereas the later generally studies (and often using computer simulations) the scaling, collective behavior and emergent properties of complex system(s).
This is the 6th in series of workshops focusing on aspects of quantum walks, and will take place in Prague, Czech Republic from 17 to 20 November, 2016.
The workshop will aim to bring interdisciplinary researchers from all areas of quantum walks, both theoretical and experimental, together to discuss recent work and find future directions of research.
There will be a number of invited speakers and we will also accept a number of contributed talks.
We strongly encourage young researchers to join us at this workshop.
The Nature is always changed dynamically even in quantum mechanics. Quantum walks, which are quantum-mechanical analogues of random walks, are promising toy models to understand quantum dynamics. Surprisingly, these models can be experimentally demonstrated in some physical models. This workshop will be open for interdisciplinary researchers from the theoretical and experimental sides on the discrete-time and continuous-time quantum walks, for examples, mathematics, physics, quantum information, and statistical mechanics.
Postdoctoral Positions in “Quantum optics and quantum many-body effects”
The positions are within a CQT research project led by Dimitris Angelakis in the Centre for Quantum Technologies Singapore. We are looking for highly motivated candidates who preferably have a strong research background in theoretical quantum optics. Exceptional candidates from condensed matter theory (especially from strongly correlated and/or topological quantum systems) and quantum information theory will also be considered.
