PhD position in multipartite entanglement research

Job type: 

Application deadline: 

Monday, September 10, 2018

Research group: 

Requirements:
-M.Sc. degree in physics or computer science
-declaration of starting Ph.D. studies at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Iformatics, University of Gdańsk from 1 of Oct. 2018.
-knowledge of quantum mechanics certified by an appropriate exam mark.
-knowledge of English sufficient to read and create scientific article.
-Interest in quantum information

Description of tasks:

The project is called "Complex entangled states: production and analysis". It is focused on many-body entangled states, in which nonclassicality is exhibited with subcorrelations, i.e., correlations between subsets of constituents. Tasks performed by the PhD student include
-analysis of spin lattices with error-correcting codes.
-analysis of generalized graph states by allowing ne entangling operations
-numerical analysis of new Bell inequalities derivations
-numerical analysis of nonclassical properties of bright states of light.
-studies of limitation of schemes with few sources of entangled pairs.
-development of modified Stokes parametersContract terms and conditions
A valid application should contain
-a scan of MSc in Physics
- scientific CV including all nonstandard activities, such as competition participation, awards, etc.
-One or more recommedation letter
-Report on marks obtained during Bachelor and Master studies
-A statement of the following: "Wyrażam zgodę na przetwarzanie moich danych osobowych zawartych w ofercie pracy dla potrzeb niezbędnych do realizacji procesu rekrutacji (zgodnie z ustawą o Ochronie Danych Osobowych Dz.
