QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The Optical Quantum Technologies group at the University of Oxford is looking for two PhD/DPhil students in the general area of quantum optics and quantum information science. The group’s research interests are in the general areas of experimental and theoretical quantum optics and related quantum technologies. Recent work has focused on developing methods to create, manipulate and measure non-classical states of light based upon time-frequency pulsed modes.

The position (experiment and/or theory) is in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, and atom spectroscopy.

Applicants should have extensive experience in atomic physics and ultra-cold atoms. Very competitive salaries are available, including generous re-location packages.

*PhD positions in experimental atom optics*

The Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics group at the University of Strathclyde would like to announce the opening of three PhD studentships, to be filled from the 1st October 2014. The fully-funded positions are for 3.5 years, covering all fees and include a competitive stipend.

We have an opening for a full-time PhD position in quantum information at CEOSpaceTech Research Centre in Bucharest.

The Research Center for Spatial Information (CEOSpaceTech), Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology, University "Politehnica" Bucharest (UPB) fosters and develops a leading-edge research and an academic focal point, in areas of Radar and THz sensors and imaging, sensor networks, information extraction from sensor data, Mining Big Data and Quantum Information.

PhD Thesis:

Rare earth based optical-microwave quantum interface

There are currently PhD openings (including in quantum information theory) in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. For more information see:

Funded PhD studentships in Experimental Quantum Technologies

Title: PhD Studentships in Experimental Quantum Technologies

Reference:

Stipend: £15,726 per annum plus fees for 4 years

In 1964, the physicist John St. Bell initiated a new research field by studying quantum mechanics closer. Until today, many interesting and fruitful directions have emerged and even the first applications are on the market. In a different field, in particle physics, experiments are achieving ever higher precision such that the borderline of known physics will be reached. The project combines both fields and its aim is to tackle some of the most fundamental questions of quantum mechanics and to relate them to the most fundamental questions in particle physics.

PhD and Postdoc positions in theoretical quantum optics are available in the new group of Nicolas Sangouard at the Department of Physics of the University of Basel (Switzerland).
