Offer Description
Scientific scholarship within the project “Quantum resource theories: from theoretical tool to practical applications” (Sonata BIS, NCN, UMO-2022/46/E/ST2/00115) is available at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland.
Successful candidates will work within the team led by Prof. Alexander Streltsov on one of the following topics:
- Quantum resource theories: exploring fundamental features of quantum systems, such as quantum entanglement, coherence, and quantum thermodynamics. Addressing questions such as the state conversion problem, quantifying resource costs for quantum process implementation.
- Quantum communication and quantum computation: application of quantum resource theories to quantify resource consumption in quantum communication protocols and to detect quantum features required for noisy quantum computation.
- Open quantum systems: application of quantum entanglement and coherence to detect and quantify memory effects in open quantum systems.
The candidate will be offered possibilities to collaborate with other theoretical and experimental groups within Warsaw’s research community.
