Selection Procedures
Institute of Physics of the CAS announces an open competition in accordance with the Act No. 283/1992 Coll. on the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the Statutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences for a position Postdoctoral position in condensed matter theory.
The Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is looking for a new colleague to join the Condensed Matter Theory Department
The postdoc will join the group “Correlations and coherence in solid state qubits” lead by dr hab. Katarzyna Roszak
Job description
Study of the effect of system-environment entanglement generated during decoherence of solid-state qubits on the operation of quantum algorithms and error correction schemes. This involves both analytical and numerical calculations. The Postdoc will be required to study literature, learn new techniques, and write scientific texts.

-
- Solid-state qubits (superconducting, on impurity, quantum dot, etc.)
- Decoherence in the solid state
- Open quantum systems
- Quantum information theory
-
- A level of English that enables scientific work
We offer
- working in an international and creative environment
- active participation at international workshops and conferences
- training and development opportunities (soft skills, language courses)
- flexible working hours
