Job description

Offer DescriptionThe Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) invites applications for one postdoctoral fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the project EPIQUE (\ ) , financed by Horizon Europe Programme, call: HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-CNECT. PI of the project is dr hab. Michał Oszmaniec.Where to apply E-mailrekrutacja@cft.edu.plRequirementsResearch Field Physics » Mathematical physics Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsWe are seeking a candidate with a recognized doctoral degree with strong expertise in the fields of quantum computing, quantum information theory, quantum optics and/or mathematical physics. Basic knowledge of quantum computational supremacy theory and probability in high-dimensional spaces will be an additional asset.The project is carried on in a dynamic, mixed theoretical and experimental consortium, coordinated by Sapienza University in Rome.The aim of EPIQUE is to push photonic quantum computing towards a new level of maturity. This project will stimulate technological advances in the various components of a photonic hardware, such as the brightness of quantum light sources, the integration of fast optical operations, the efficiency and time response of single-photon detectors.Furthermore, EPIQUE will provide new perspectives for the design and the benchmarking of algorithms tailored for photonic quantum computation. The outcome of the project will be the assembling of three prototypes:

• QSPACE, machine encoded in spatial modes and operating with discrete variables;
• QTIME, machine encoded in temporal modes and operating with discrete variables;
• QSQUEEZE, machine working with continuous variables.

The position offered is for a period of one year with the possibility of extension, up to a maximum total duration of 21 months. The earliest date of starting work is April 2025. The salary is about PLN 15000/month gross, depending on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.Specific RequirementsThe application should include: * The scientific CV, including publication list, participation in research projects and conferences (with the clause “I consent to the processing of my personal data necessary for the recruitment process in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR).”

• Signed RODO clause.
• Motivation letter, with a brief description of the Candidate’s scientific interests and future research plans.
• A copy of the PhD diploma, or statement from the PhD Advisor on the planned date of defense (the PhD should be awarded by the post-doc contract starting date).
• Applicants should also arrange to have at least one letter of reference sent separately to the email address given below.
