QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The Global Research Center for Quantum Information Science at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo is seeking applicants for two fixed term research appointments to work on hybrid quantum systems and quantum networks.  The appointments will be initially for one year period starting from 1st of October 2017 with a possible extension of another year.  The research projects are theoretical in nature, however successful applicants are expected to work closely with experimentalists.  Details of the center research activities can be found at

Our ambition is to realize a world wide quantum internet, connecting few qubit quantum processors using long distance quantum communication links. In 2020, we aim to have the first demonstration network connecting several cities in the Netherlands. We are now looking for two exceptional postdoctoral researchers to join us in this endeavour. 

The Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering at Aalto University is looking for a postdoc to develop a new class of quantum photonic devices (such as single photon emitters, photon-pair emitters, single photon detectors) based on various nanomaterials, such as one-dimensional materials (e.g. carbon nanotubes, nanowires) and two-dimensional layered materials (e.g. transition metal dichalcogenide or boron nitride monolayers).

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Designing Out-of-equilibrium Many-body Quantum Systems.

The implementation of topological effects in photonics has recently emerged as a promising research avenue for the manipulation of photons at the micron-scale.  A qualitative step forward would be the study of topological properties in photonics in the presence of nonlinearities. We open a post-doc position in the framework of the ERC Starting grant Honeypol devoted to the experimental study of topological effects in polariton lattices, in which topological edge states have been recently evidenced by our group [1, 2, 3].

Applications are invited for the above post to work with Professor Gerardo Adesso on an ERC Starting Grant project entitled “Genuine quantumness in cooperative phenomena” funded by the European Research Council.  The principal goal of the project is to analyse and challenge the quantum-classical border from a jointly fundamental and applicative viewpoint.
