We want to strengthen our team. Therefore, we offer an open

PhD position

at the 3rd Physical Institute of the University of Stuttgart (Chair: Prof. Wrachtrup), which is available immediately.

A 3-years PhD student position is available at the Quantum Optics Group, Institute of Atomic and Subatomic Physics, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria. The project is to numerically model thermalization, decoherence and dephasing in low-dimensional ultracold atomic Bose gases. The work is to be done in a small theoretical group in an everyday close collaboration with the experimental group of Prof. J. Schmiedmayer.

Two PhD/Postdoc fellowships in experimental physics are available in the "ultracold atoms and quantum gases" group in Innsbruck (Austria) within the START funding program (BMWF and FWF).
As a successful applicant, you will work in the groups of Dr. Francesca Ferlaino and Dr. Florian Schreck.
We are seeking highly motivated students in pursuing experimental research in the field of laser cooling and quantum degenerate gases.

We are currently offering a postdoctoral position and two PhD positions to highly motivated and well-qualified young researchers who intend to enhance their scientific career in the field of Quantum Information Theory and/or Quantum Optics. The positions are associated with the research group of Barbara Kraus at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Innsbruck, Austria. The appointed candidates could start at their earliest convenience.

University of Warsaw, Faculty of Physics, seeks to fill five research positions supported by the project Photonic implementations of quantum-enhanced technologies. The project, funded under the TEAM programme operated by Foundation for Polish Science, will focus on controlling quantum phenomena in photonic systems to enable new modes of information processing and communication.

In celebration of the 100-year anniversary of Niels Bohr’s Atomic Model, the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen announces three PhD stipends for exceptionally talented students. The recipients must start their studies before October 1 2010.

Challenges in experimental quantum optics

The Quantum Information Group at Toshiba Research Europe has a pre-doctoral fellowship open in the framework of the EU Initial Training Network, Spin-Optronics.  The fellowship will investigate novel semiconductor sources of quantum entanglement and their application in quantum information technology.  The candidate may also study for a PhD if desired.
