theoretical quantum optics
One senior postdoc position is available in the theoretical quantum optics group at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The position will be part of the quantum internet alliance which is a European project aiming at building large-scale quantum networks. The postdoc will participate in designing and modelling the prototype quantum internet that is scheduled to be built at the end of the project. Additionally, the successful candidate may work on other activities within the area of theoretical quantum optics, quantum networks and quantum information.
We are looking for for a postdoctoral researcher (2 years) with a background in quantum optics or strong field physics and a strong interest in interdisciplinary research. The key aim of the project “Strong field physics with nonclassical light fields” is to investigate the interaction of strong, nonclassical light fields with matter. The successful applicant is expected to apply and develop numerical and analytical methods of theoretical quantum optics to describe light-matter interactions with large photon numbers.
Two postdoc positions in the area of quantum network implementations are available in Christoph Simon’s theoretical quantum optics group at the University of Calgary (see http://www.iqst.ca/people/peoplepage.php?id=225). Topics of particular relevance for the two positions include quantum memories for light, quantum repeaters, and microwave-to-optical quantum transduction.

Six PhD positions in theoretical quantum optics and quantum information science are available at the Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies (QOT) at the University of Warsaw. Successful candidates will work in a diverse environment including theorists and experimentalists on fundamental properties of quantum systems, such as quantum coherence and entanglement, and their applications in quantum technologies, such as quantum metrology, sensing, communication, and computation.
In the process of setting up a new quantum optics theory group, I am searching for outstanding PhD students to work on the following topics
- Quantum simulation with quantum optics setups, in particular of lattice gauge theories
- Design of protocols for measuring entanglement in cold quantum gases
- Theory of quantum many-body systems (non-equilibrium dynamics, periodically driven systems, exotic quantum phases, characterization through entanglement)
PhD position in CQT Singapore in “Quantum computation and quantum simulation with quantum optical systems”
The positions are within the Quantum Optics and Quantum Simulators Group lead by Dr. Dimitris G. Angelakis in the Centre of Quantum Technologies (http://quantumlah.org/research/group/index.php?PI=20).
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.
We seek to understand how the world works at the small scale. Quantum mechanics is the fascinating field that studies how nature works on the nano- and microscales. Several questions are still under investigation: What is the nature of the transition between the quantum mechanical laws and those of ordinary classical mechanics that large systems obey? How can one use the stronger coherences that arise in quantum systems to make possible more precise measurements or quicker computations?
ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences (http://www.icfo.eu), a centre based in Barcelona (Spain), devoted to research and education of the optical and photonic sciences at the highest international level, is offering a postdoctoral position in experimental quantum information theory. We are looking for a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.
