Julian Schwinger Foundation Ph.D positions on Rydberg atomtronics

Two Phd positions on the control of quantum correlations and phase coherence in systems of cold Rydberg atoms are available. They will form the core activity of the research grant ‘Rydberg atomtronics’, recently funded by the Julian Schwinger Foundation, coordinated by Luigi Amico and Oliver Morsch.

The project DisQC (Distributed Quantum Computing), is a scientific project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) under a JCJC Starting Grant (2022-2025) and coordinated by Giuseppe Di Molfetta at Aix-Marseille University (AMU).

Two PhD positions and three postdoctoral positions are available at Trinity College Dublin, in the groups of Prof. Felix Binder and Prof. Mark Mitchison.
