The scholarships offer a competitive stipend of AUD $41,650 per year for 3.5 years, a $15,000 training allowance, a $5,000 travel allowance, an $840 publication allowance and a one-off $5,000 cost-of-living payment. For Domestic students only.
Two post-doctoral positions are open at the CEA Grenoble (France) on the modelling of Si MOS and Si/SiGe spin quantum bits (qubits). The positions will remain open until filled, and have a duration of up to 2 years.
Specific details for each position are provided below. Please clearly indicate in your application the specific position to which you are applying.
The Quantum Information and Device Theory group of Charles Tahan at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) and the Quantum Information and Many-Body Physics group of Brian Swingle at the University of Maryland (UMD) are collaborating to explore the possible quantum advantage offered by near-term quantum systems from quantum computers with dozens or hundreds of qubits to analog quantum systems of similar size to tensor-network inspired machine learning.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Prof. X. Hu's theory group working on solid state quantum computing at University at Buffalo. The nominal starting time is September 2014, although earlier starting time may be possible. Current research interests within the group include dynamics, entanglement, decoherence, and communication of multi-qubit systems. For more information please check out the group website at http://www.physics.buffalo.edu/xhu/.
The Diamond Nanoscience group is based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Macquarie University, close to Sydney. We are part of the Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems. The group involves cross-disciplinary research activity including the growth and the post-processing of nanodiamonds for their application in emerging fields of single particle probing, of magnetic nanosensors and microscopy. The studies undertaken include the use of fundamental quantum optics experiments, material science experiments and a combination of chemical physics approaches.
The silicon quantum computing group involves both experiments and theory related to silicon quantum dot spin qubits. The dots are fabricated in top-gated silicon-germanium heterostructures, grown and measured in our laboratory. Areas of interest include quantum information, quantum dot transport and coherence, and valley splitting. PIs include Mark Eriksson, Max Lagally, Don Savage, Robert Blick, Susan Coppersmith, Robert Joynt, and Mark Friesen.
