Postdoctoral position in theoretical many-body quantum physics with
Rydberg atoms

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on
theoretical aspects related to many-body quantum physics with Rydberg
atoms. The position is funded through the project ‘Tailored quantum
matter for sensing and fundamental physics’ (financed by the
Baden-Württemberg foundation).

The project goals are the following:

(i) to theoretically investigate the creation and control of stable
collective phenomena in open driven many-body quantum systems on Rydberg
quantum simulators.

(ii) to support the development of an avalanche detector for photons in
the terahertz frequency range, which is based on the collective
many-body response near a phase transition on a Rydberg quantum
simulator. These experiments will be conducted in the group of Prof. C.
Groß at Tübingen.

The research group 'Theoretical Atomic Physics and Synthetic Quantum
Systems' (www.open-quantum-systems.com) is embedded in the lively
environment of the 'Center for Quantum Science' of the University of
Tübingen, which includes groups working on cold atoms experiments as
well as mathematical and theoretical physics. The successful applicant
is expected to actively engage in the activities of the Center and, most
importantly, in collaborations with experimental researchers.

Candidates need to have a strong background in theoretical physics, a
strong academic record, a demonstrated commitment, and a motivation to
work hard.

Applications should include a cover letter (including motivation for
applying), a CV (including publication list), a copy of the PhD thesis
and transcripts (all collated in a single pdf file). Applicants should
also arrange for two recommendation letters. All documents shall be sent
to igor.lesanovsky at uni-tuebingen.de.

The offered position (E13) will run for at least 2 years. Review of the
applications will begin on May 10th, 2021 until the position is filled.
The anticipated starting date is in autumn 2021 or later.

For enquiries please send an email to igor.lesanovsky at uni-tuebingen.de.
