QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The group working in the area of quantum optics in nanostructures (http://www.uam.es/departamentos/ciencias/fisicamateriales/qoins/ ) at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid is looking for two graduate students for doing a PhD. The selected candidates will be supported by 2 FPI 4-years contracts associated to the MINECO’s project “Quantum Optics in Nanostructured Semiconductors”.

The Institute for Logic, Language & Computation at the University of Amsterdam is looking for a PhD candidate in the area of quantum cryptography, as part of Christian Schaffner’s NWO VIDI Project Cryptography in the Quantum Age.

A PhD position for a UK/EU student is available to work with Marco Piani, at the the Department of Physics of the University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, UK. The research activity will focus on fundamental quantum features like entanglement and coherence, and their role in quantum information processing and quantum dynamics.

This project seeks to develop next-generation hardware for quantum networking by using atoms coupled to superconducting circuits to generate, store and entangle photons in a single chip-based device. This offers a direct route to the creation of scalable quantum networks, as well as providing an excellent test bed for exploring fundamental quantum optics. Hybrid systems offer an alternative route to fulfilling the requirements for quantum information processing by combining disparate technologies, in this case neutral atoms and superconductors.
