I am seeking a keen theorist to work as a PhD student at University College London (UCL) on "Many-Body Nonequilibrium Dynamics for Low-Control Quantum Information Processing". The studentship is funded by through the ERC project PACOMANEDIA (Partially Coherent Nonequilibrium Dynamics for Information Applications) and is for 4 years and should ideally start latest by Oct 2013. The student will be expected to be quite independent and will be co-supervised by a postdoctoral researcher working on the same project.

The Institute for Theoretical Physics UAM/CSIC, Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence, opens PhD fellowships for exceptional candidates to carry out a PhD within the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Postgraduate Programme in Theoretical Physics. One field of research conducted at the IFT is dedicated to the investigation of quantum information processing using topological states of matter and to the quantum simulation of many-body quantum states with quantum optical systems.

We are launching the new interdisciplinary EC-funded ICT FET OPEN research program NANOQUESTFIT to explore the practical and fundamental

limits of the quantum superposition principle.

NANOQUESTFIT combines the expertise of the following research groups:  

The Centre for Quantum Dynamics undertakes experimental and theoretical studies of the behaviour and properties of physical systems governed by quantum mechanics. The Centre is particularly strong in fostering collaboration between different research areas, both theoretical and experimental.

The main areas of research in the Centre are:

We are looking for a motivated PhD student who is interested to work at the interface between the foundations of quantum mechanics and particle physics. The project aims at the investigation of possible Bell inequality violations in systems of neutral mesons and the modeling of the relevant decay processes with methods from quantum optics.

We are seeking keen experimentalists to work on highly challenging and excitingly novel experiments on mesoscopic quantum physics and to join us - Quantum Nanophysics Group at Southampton - as PhD students.
