PhD scholarship in theoretical quantum information science is available at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland. Successful candidate 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.

Profile of the candidates:
Applicants should have a master's degree in physics, engineering, or related areas, and have a good understanding of quantum theory.

Application:
Applicants should submit the following documents via email to the address [email protected]
- Motivation letter
- Curriculum vitae
