Introduction
Quantum optics and quantum information is at present a very dynamic research field. About three years ago research within this field of study was initiated at the Department of Physics, and is now in an intensive build-up phase. In 2008 the Quantum information and quantum optics research group at the physics department with research groups at the Royal Institute of Technology was received a ten years research Linnaeus grant in Advanced optics and photonics.
The Department of Physics is a large department with a broad variety of basic research, and it is a part of AlbaNova university center which also encompasses the Departments of Astronomy, the Physics departments of the Royal Institute of Technology, and the Nordic Centre for theoretical physics, Nordita.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who has ideally already gained some 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.
The position will be funded by the Emmy Noether award of the group leader. The minimum salary will be 23,316 Euro per annum (67% of 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 by the goup leader and a dedicated postdoc 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.
The candidate will ideally have knowledge and/or experience in cavity QED or the numerical simulation of quantum-many body systems and basic aspects of quantum information. Programming skills in either Fortran, MatLab, C or Mathematica would be very helpful.
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 previous research, a cv, a list of publications (if applicable) and contact details (email) of two referees.

The broad direction of the project is to study coherent states realized in a variety of physical systems as a starting resource in various quantum informational protocols, as well as various investigations in foundations of quantum mechanics.
The studentship is part of a collaborative project between Prof. Bose and Prof. Myungshik Kim (Queens University Belfast, QUB) and Prof. Sir Peter Knight, FRS (Imperial, London). Apart from the above people, the student will be expected to interact and collaborate with two postdocs, one based at QUB and the other based at Imperial. While any previous experience in quantum information and/or quantum optics is a strong positive, candidates with experiences in other areas are also welcome.
The earliest deadline for applications (an electronic CV, containing any research experience, projects etc. and academic performance in various subjects to sougato.bose@gmail.com, as well as s.bose@ucl.ac.uk) is 20th July, which should be followed by a formal application to UCL which will require comments from 2 referees. Evaluation of the applications will start soon after the 20th, with interviews expected around 28th/29th July (telephone interviews), and decisions by 1st August so that the candidate can start in early September.
