This PhD position is available for research in topologically ordered phases and their use in quantum devices and topological quantum computation.

With the development of free electron laser (FEL) radiation sources a new area of X-Ray spectroscopy commenced. PSI explores and develops methods for nonlinear coherent optical/X-Ray experiments with the ultimate aim of applying these at the SwissFEL free electron laser facility which is planned to operate by the end of 2017. Within this project the candidate will be involved in experiments that can be performed at the synchrotron, in the Laser-laboratory and at FEL’s that contribute to an advanced understanding of nonlinear X-ray processes.

The innovative training network QCALL (Quantum Communications for ALL) is accepting PhD applications for its 15 well-funded openings at its partner institutes. These positions will cover a range of practical and theoretical topics all related to quantum communications and its widespread deployment. The positions are located at 

We are looking for talented and ambitious European graduates who wish to pursue a Ph.D. in Quantum Technologies and Quantum Foundations. 

Led by the University of York, the UK Quantum Technology Hub for Quantum Communications Technologies (Quantum Communications Hub) is a partnership of eight universities and numerous private sector companies. The overall aim of the Hub is to develop a range of new, secure, quantum communications technologies. A PhD studentship, supported by EPSRC funding through York, is available to work on high-rate quantum communications, based at the Department of Computer Science, University of York.

We are looking for talented and ambitious graduates who wish to pursue a Ph.D. in Quantum Technologies or the foundations of quantum theory. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr Roger Colbeck in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York. The current aim of the research that this studentship is connected to is to understand the most practical ways to exploit fundamental physics to generate random numbers or to understand the nature of causation in quantum theory.

The Quantum Information group led by Prof. Dr. Dagmar Bruss at Institute for Theoretical Physics, Duesseldorf University, Germany, is looking for two doctoral candidates to join the EU‐funded Innovative Training Network QCALL (Quantum Communication for All). One PhD student will conduct a project on "Long-distance quantum key distribution over integrated satellite-repeater links", and the other PhD student will work on a project about "Multipartite quantum communication systems".
