Fixed Term: 36 months, starting 1st October 2013

Imperial College London is recruiting 6 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to work in the Marie Curie Innovative Doctoral Programme (IDP) “Frontiers in Quantum Technology (FQT)”. The IDP will provide multidisciplinary training culminating in PhDs awarded by Imperial College London.

Applications are invited for a PhD position on the topic "Strong coupling effects in optomechanical systems" at the Vienna University of Technology in the Quantum Optics Theory group of Peter Rabl (http://ati.tuwien.ac.at/forschungsbereiche/nachwuchs_forschungsgruppe_th...). The candidate will perform research on nonlinear quantum effects in strongly coupled optomechanical systems and investigate potential applications for quantum information processing.

The International Max Planck Research School for Quantum Dynamics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IMPRS-QD) is a graduate school offering a doctoral degree program in these disciplines.

The IMPRS-QD is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), the Heidelberg University, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (all in Heidelberg) and the Heavy Ion Research Center (GSI) in Darmstadt.

Postdoc and graduate student positions, Wolfgang Tittel and Christoph Simon, University of Calgary

Phd position at the Quantum Optics and Quantum Information group of the Physics Division of the University of Camerino. The research activity will be carried out under the supervision of Prof. David Vitali and will be related to the topics of the ITN project "cQOM" - Cavity Quantum Optomechanics.

Experimental phd topic: “Optomechanics in a membrane-in-the-middle setup” Job description: Experimental work with the goal of achieving quantum effects for a SiN membrane placed inside a high-finesse optical cavity.

Applications are invited for PhD and postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Quantum Information at RWTH Aachen University in the group of Norbert Schuch. The research focus of the group is at the boundary between quantum information theory and quantum many-body physics, in particular the application of quantum information tools such as tensor network states to the analytical and numerical study of many-body systems, topological order, and quantum phases, as well as the study of quantum complexity aspects of many-body systems.

PhD and Post-Doc positions in the group “Quantum Nanophysics and Matter-Wave Interferometry”

PhD and in exceptional case Post-Doc positions in the group “Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information Theory” (http://quantumfoundations.weebly.com) at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna are available from September 2012. The candidates will undertake research on the foundations of quantum physics and theoretical quantum information in collaboration with Prof. Caslav Brukner.

PhD Scholarships : Robust Quantum Information and Metrology

Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia

We invite applications for PhD studentships (covers fees and provides ~25k/yr stipend), on the topic of the

Theoretical Physics of Hybrid Quantum Systems

This involves the theory behind interfacing different types of quantum systems e.g. diamond with superconducting, nano mechanical with photonic, etc. for quantum information/sensing/simulation purposes.
