Optical quantum information science position in Bristol:
Based in the Departments of Physics and Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you will work in the Centre for Quantum Photonics in the area of optical quantum information science. We have a world-leading Centre for Quantum Photonics spanning Physics and Electrical Engineering. This group is active in several EU, US, Australian and UK programs. Areas being studied include: single photon sources from quantum dots and diamond, pair photon sources from photonic crystal fibres, multi-photon quantum interference, quantum communication, optical quantum computing, quantum measurement, and quantum metrology.
We currently have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of optical quantum measurement and quantum information. This project will involve generalised quantum measurements with single photons and quantum information processing. It will use photons generated via nonlinear crystals, as well as the photonic crystal fibres sources developed by Prof. John Rarity at Bristol. You will have postgraduate experience in experimental physics or related discipline. You may also have experience in single photon quantum optics or experimental quantum information science. General laboratory experience in interfacing equipment and data processing, and a willingness to supervise graduate students will also be necessary.
This position is offered for two years in the first instance, with possible extension to four years. If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or a permanent contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience.
