| QuTech, TUDelft (Netherlands) | PhD positions in theory, computer science and experimental physics at QuTech QuTech features an integrated roadmap towards realizing large scale quantum networks in a team effort by physicists, computer scientists and engineers. QuTech hosts the technical coordination of the Quantum Internet Alliance – Ronald Hanson (experimental physics) and Stephanie Wehner (theory and computer science) – as well as interdisciplinary efforts led by Wolfgang Tittel (experimental physics), David Elkouss (theory quantum information), Arie van Deursen (software engineering), and Przemek Pawelczak (computer networks and embedded systems).
We are now looking for excellent candidates to join our team at QuTech! Several PhD positions are presently available in experiment, theory and computer science. You should have an exceptional undergraduate track record in at least one of the following: experimental physics, quantum information theory or experiment, computer networks, computing systems, software engineering. Applications via the General PhD application form. Specifically, we seek excellent candidates to join our efforts to:
You should apply for any of these positions if you would like to work in team effort at the cutting edge of research and development, aiming to achieve ambitious goals targeted to towards long term practical real-world impact that go beyond what could be achieved by a single individual or discipline. For more information please see the goals of QIA. For PhD positions please contact the technical coordination and/or individual PIs listed above. Technical Coordination Team QIA: Other PIs: |
| Paris Centre for Quantum Computing (France) | Quantum Application Software Implementation (3 years) Description: The Paris Centre for Quantum Computing brings together computer scientists, theoretical & experimental physicists and mathematicians that work to develop novel quantum information and communication technologies. Within the QIA we will lead the design and implementation of the future quantum Internet applications in collaboration with our industrial partners. The central responsibilities in this thesis is to implement quantum protocols in software and design a modular and application layer software library to facilitate protocol implementation. This library will provide a set of atomic communication tasks to quantum communication protocols identified within QIA. This atomicity will enable building “advanced” protocols by combining these atomic communication tasks easily in software. In addition, this decomposition facilitates the study of the hardware parameters sufficient to realise protocols by reducing (part of) their study to the investigation of the atomic tasks themselves. The preferred profile is a comouter science student with familiarity in both theory and coding. Contact details: Prof. Elham Kashefi, LIP6 campus |
| The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcelona (Spain) | Quantum dynamics of atoms interacting light The project aims to develop novel theoretical techniques to calculate the quantum dynamics of atoms interacting light, and apply these techniques to model existing quantum atom-light interfaces as well as to develop new protocols based upon such systems.
Interested candidates should contact darrick.chang@icfo.eu. |
| Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen (Denmark) | PhD fellow in quantum photonics The position is embedded in the Quantum Photonics Group within the newly established Center of Excellence “Hybrid Quantum Networks Hy-Q” and the European Quantum Internet Alliance. We carry out fundamental and applied research on solid-state quantum-information processing with solid-state quantum emitters embedded in photonic nanostructures. The quest of the current research programme is to scale the basic quantum functionalities to obtain large and complex quantum networks. Project description Within Hy-Q we pursue a hybrid approach to solid-state quantum-information processing by combining spin physics, quantum dots, quantum optomechanics, and quantum memories. Currently we are launching new projects within the following areas: Job description The PhD position is for a 3-year period and your key tasks as a PhD student at Science are: Formal requirements Applicants should have an MSc degree in physics or engineering with good results and good English skills. As criteria for the assessment of your qualifications emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant work experience. Application Procedure The application, in English, must be submitted electronically by following this link. Please include Terms of employment The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. The starting salary is currently at a minimum DKK 317,459 including annual supplement (+ pension up to DKK 43,852). Negotiation for salary supplement is possible. More info and deadline The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. The deadline for applications is 1 September 2018, GMT +2. Applications received later than this date will not be considered. After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Interview Committee. Afterwards an assessment committee will be appointed to evaluate the selected applications. The applicants will be notified of the composition of the committee and the final selection of a successful candidate will be made by the Head of Department, based on the recommendations of the assessment committee and the interview committee. The main criterion for selection will be the research potential of the applicant and the above mentioned skills. The successful candidate will then be requested to formally apply for enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD school of Science.
