Job Details

Position in the project:Postdoctoral researcher
Scientific discipline: Physics (quantum information theory)
Remuneration/month ~8 500 PLN (~2030 Euro) net monthly salary (15 000 PLN full remuneration cost), full social security and health insurance
Position starts on: Negotiable, preferably from June 2018

Project title: Self-testing protocols for multipartite quantum states
Project is carried out within the First Team programme of the Foundation for Polish Science

Project description:
The rapid development of quantum technologies creates an urgent need to design methods to certify whether quantum devices really operate in a non-classical way. The main aim of this project is to respond to this need. We will provide efficient and robust protocols of self-testing—a device-independent certification method—for multipartite entangled quantum states. To reach this goal we will study and explore the phenomena of Bell nonlocality and entanglement in the multipartite scenario.

The project will be realized in collaboration with ICFO – the Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona (the groups of prof. A. Acin and M. Lewenstein) and National Centre for Quantum Information in Gdańsk (the group of prof. M. Horodecki).


Key responsibilities include:
Realization of tasks stated in the proposal or other tasks states by the project leader, using both analytical and numerical methods
Co-supervision of PhD students hired in the project
Dissemination of the obtained results (writing articles, presentations on scientific events)
Participation in the scientific life of the institute

Opportunity to do research in a fascinating field in a creative, innovative and friendly work environment
Development of analytical and numerical skills in the field of quantum information theory
Close collaboration with top institutes in quantum information theory (ICFO in Barcelona and NQIC in Gdańsk)
Support in application for additional funding and scholarships
Participation in scientific events (workshops, conferences)

Cover letter
Curriculum Vitae including list of publications and short description of the most important scientific achievements
Certified copy of the PhD diploma
Two recommendation letters from senior researchers
