QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to the new edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies (DP-PMI), starting in September 2017.

The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training in the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information sciences and technologies, namely in:

1. Classical and Quantum Information Theory;

A PhD position is available on the enabling technologies for long-distance trust-free QKD networks. This is one of the 15 positions available at the innovative training network QCALL (Quantum Communications for ALL), funded by the EU Marie-Sklodowska Curie Programme.

Many theoretical challenges need to be solved in order to implement the first quantum networks. In this PhD position, you will have the opportunity to solve some of these practical challenges. You will join the theory group of David Elkouss in QuTech at TU Delft and will work in close collaboration with the experimental groups of Ronald Hanson and Tim Taminiau and with the theory group of Stephanie Wehner.  

The Department of Applied Physics at the University of Geneva in Switzerland is one of the premier research institutions in the field of Quantum Information Science and Technology. The Quantum Technologies group, led by Prof. Hugo Zbinden and Dr Rob Thew, is inviting motivated people to apply for an open PhD as part of a new multidisciplinary project on Quantum Vision.

We are looking for a PhD student to work on a theory project in quantum information science, in particular the implementation and modelling of QIP protocols in solid-state systems.

PhD Stipends, Fall 2017

A number of attractive PhD stipends in Mathematics are available at the University of Copenhagen, The Villum Centre of Excellence for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory. The starting date for the stipends is in the fall of 2017. Candidates are expected to have obtained a Master's degree, or equivalence thereof, before starting.

Unique PhD Experience

Within the framework of the EU H2020 Marie Curie European Training Network (ETN) “Optomechanical Technologies OMT” (www.omt-etn.net), there are 15 open positions for PhD students in the field of Cavity Optomechanics.  We strongly encourage female researchers to apply.

You will:

ColOpt

Collective effects and optomechanics in ultra-cold matter

is inviting applications of highly qualified and ambitious early state researchers for three year research or research & development projects. In total 15 positions are available at 12 partners. Candidates hosted at university nodes are expected to participate in the PhD programme of their host institution.

A fully funded PhD/Doctoral Studentship is available at the Information Security Group of Royal Holloway (University of London) in the area of post-quantum cryptography.
