PhD Student - Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience Group
Employer: Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2)
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Website: https://icn2.cat/
Employment Start Date: Flexible/to be discussed
Organization Description:

The mission of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) is to achieve the highest level of scientific and technological excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Its research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behavior of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for two consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022). ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Description:

This project target the theoretical study of quantum entanglement dynamics of single and many-particles quantum states in topological quantum matter using analytical and numerical methods. The challenges is to demonstrate new ways for harvesting intraparticle degrees of freedom to control and manipulate entanglement between spins of multiple particles, in the context of quantum computing and quantum technologies.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

  • Develop theoretical studies of entanglement dynamics in hybrid Dirac matter.
  • Demonstrate the possibility to detect interparticle entangelemnt via Bell´s inequality violation.
  • Simulate graphene-based devices able to detect spin-spin entanglement.

Summary of conditions:

  • Full time work (37,5h/week)
  • Contract Length: Temporary (4 years)
  • Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona)
  • Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.
  • Support to the relocation issues.
  • Life Insurance.

 
Requirements:
  • Education:

Bachelor and Master in quantum physics, preferentially master in quantum science and technology with knowledge on quantum computing, advanced quantum mechanics, quantum information theory and topological quantum matte

  • Knowledge and Professional experience:

The student should have in-depth knowledge on Berry phase, topological physics and advanced skills in numerical modelling (PYTHON), and already able to make his/her own computational codes. He/ she should be immediately available.
Job Application:
