We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who has research experience in theoretical quantum optics, quantum information theory and/or condensed matter theory.
The research project will study novel possibilities for the engineering of locally addressable, effective many-particle Hamiltonians and the generation of entanglement in quantum optical devices. Here, one focus of the work will be on arrays of microcavities, each interacting strongly with atoms. The research is intended to pave the way towards the application of such devices as quantum simulators and will therefore also investigate the potential of local control and manipulations in many-body systems for studying novel physical effects these can give rise to. Duties will involve, carrying our cutting edge research, support in the supervision of a PhD student on this project, presenting the research results at national and international meetings etc.
The position will be funded by the Emmy Noether award of the group leader. The minimum salary will be 34,800 Euro per annum (TVöD E13). The position is available immediately and we will accept applications until a suitable candidate is found.
We offer an active and stimulating research environment, strengthened by our association to the group of Prof. W. Zwerger, and strong national (Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich) and international collaborations including Prof. M.B. Plenio (Imperial College London). Intensive supervision and support by the goup leader will be offered. The group is located in the science park in Garching near Munich with the Walter Schottky Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in close vicinity. The Technical University Munich has recently received one of Germany's first Elite University awards.
A PhD in physics is required and experience in theoretical quantum optics, quantum information science and/or condensed matter theory is essential. The ideal candidate will have knowledge and/or experience in cavity QED, the numerical simulation of such systems as well as quantum-many body systems and basic aspects of quantum information. The candidate possesses programming skills in some of the following Fortran, MatLab, C and Mathematica.
Further information can be found at: http://www.ph.tum.de/~gu32foq. Applications should be sent by email to michael.hartmann@ph.tum.de and should contain a 200 word summary of the PhD research, a cv, a list of publications and contact details (email) of two referees.
The positions will be funded either by the EU project COMPAS (Computing with Mesoscopic Photonic and Atomic States) or by the European Young Research Investigator Award of the group leader.
Candidates must hold a PhD degree in physics, mathematics or computer science, or provide evidence for the successful completion of the requirements in the near future. The appointed candidate could start as soon as possible, but would be expected to join the group not later than autumn of 2008.
The postdoctoral positions would first be available first for either one or two years, and could be extended following a successful development of the initial phase.
Interested candidates are invited to submit
For an overview over the research activities, see www.jense.qipc.org/Publications.html, or consult the preprint server under www.arxiv.org.
The group is based in Potsdam, in the science park comprising the Max Planck Institutes and the science departments of the university, at the outskirts of the Berlin metropolitan area, which is Germany's capital and one of Europe's largest cities. The Berlin-Brandenburg area is one of the country's two major research centres, with four major universities and eight Max Planck institutes. The area is quite certainly among the regions offering the highest quality of life in the country. On the one hand, there is the capital Berlin, with its international flavour and cultural vitality, on the other hand the quiet and significantly smaller adjacent Potsdam, enjoying a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Status.
The call will be open until suitable candidates are identified.
Posts are either a levels A, B or C (Salary range: in AUD C: From $99,896 pa, including base salary $84,413 to $97,239 pa, B: From $81,682 pa, including base salary $69,022 to $81,847pa, A: From $57,398 pa, including base salary $48,502 to $65,600 pa all including annual leave loading and 17% employer's superannuation).
