Postdoc in Theoretical Quantum Optics/Quantum Information
The position will be part of the theoretical quantum optics group headed by Prof. Anders S. Sørensen (www.tqo.dk). The group is focusing on making theories for the implementation of quantum information processing in concrete physical systems, including quantum optical systems such as photons and atoms as well as solid-state systems such as quantum dots and superconducting qubits. The position will be part of the newly established Center for Hybrid Quantum Neworks (Hy-Q). The center is a 6 year major research initiative aiming at creating a quantum internet by exploiting quantum dots and opto-mechanical systems. The center is a collaboration between the theoretical quantum optics group and the groups of Prof. Peter Lodahl (www.quantum-photonics.dk) and Prof. Albert Schliesser (www.nbi.dk/~aschlies/research.html). In total the center employs approximately 50 scientists working on quantum networks.
The position should support and complement the activities of the research center. To this end the successful candidate should both make theories for concrete experiments, which can be performed in the Hy-Q laboratories as well as long-term applications for quantum information processing. The precise project will be defined in collaboration with the candidate but possible topics include:
• cluster state generation using quantum dots • quantum memories using solid-state emitters • storage of information in mechanical oscillators • general theory development for quantum networks
Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof. Anders S. Sørensen, anders.sorensen@nbi.dk, phone: (+45)24661377.
The position is open from 01.09.2018 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is open for a period of 2 years.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
