Offer Description
The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applications for one postdoctoral fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the project “Quantum Coherence Activation By Open Systems and Environments” QuCABOoSE, financed by the National Science Center (NCN) - registration No.2023/05/Y/ST2/00139 (Quant Era), funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101017733. PI of the project is prof. Jarosław Korbicz.
We are looking for a candidate with a recognized PhD degree (obtained not earlier than in 2017) and a solid background in quantum information theory, especially in quantum algorithms and protocols, quantum correlations, quantum error correction. Basic knowledge of the theory of open quantum systems will be an additional advantage. The project is carried on in a dynamic, mixed theoretical-experimental consortium, which, apart from CFT PAN, includes University of Padeborn, Dortmund Technical University, Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and Italian National Agency for New Technologies (ENEA) in Rome. The main scientific topic of the project is an innovative approach to the role of the environment in quantum algorithms. It combines the theories of quantum correlations and quantum algorithms on one hand, and the dynamics of open quantum systems on the other. The aim of the project is to investigate the possibility of activating quantum correlations through a fully quantum treatment of the environment and to develop novel mechanisms for decoherence suppression/reversal. This is crucial for the development of quantum technologies. As part of the project, there is a chance to work on the IBMQ quantum computer. The position offered is for a period of one year with the possibility of extension; the earliest date of starting work is July 2024.
