Hi Jamie
I hope things are well. Do you feel like circulating these postdoc ads
on the quantum list, I was asked to circulate them.
Best
Oscar

A post-doctoral position is available for up to 30 months to develop theoretical
approaches in the growing field of thermodynamics of quantum information. The
purpose of the work is to suggest and model experiments in close connection with
experimental groups, with special emphasis on circuit QED and opto-mechanics of
hybrid systems.

Applicants should have brought contributions in one or more of the
following areas:
- theory of quantum optics
- theory of circuit QED
- theory of opto-mechanics
- foundations of quantum physics and quantum information

The successful applicant will work in the quantum optics group of
Institute Néel - CNRS
(Grenoble, France) led by A. Auffèves, in a tight network of national
and international
collaborations. Experimental groups involved are the Quantum
Electronics group of
LPA, Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris and the NanoPhysics and
SemiConductors team
of Institute Néel.

Salary scale : from 2000 to 2400 euros net/month, depending on the
qualification of the
candidate
Latest starting date : January 2014

A theoretical post-doctoral position is available for up to 30 months
to investigate
the "bad emitter regime" of cavity quantum electrodynamics, with the
aim to develop
a new generation of quantum devices exploiting decoherence for single photon
or indistinguishable photon generation at room temperature. This regime where
decoherence mostly affects the quantum emitter and not the optical resonator is
completely specific to solid-state artificial atoms and cavities. It
will be explored in close
connection with leading experimental groups studying NV centers
coupled to high Q
open access cavities or photonic crystals.

The successful applicant will work in the quantum optics group of
Institute Néel - CNRS
(Grenoble, France) led by A. Auffèves, in a tight network of national
and international
collaborations. The experimental partners of the collaboration are
Oxford, Cardiff,
Bristol Universities, LMU Munich and Universitaet des Saarlandes.

Applicants should have brought contributions in one or more of the
following areas:
- theory of quantum optics
- theory of opto-mechanics
- theory of cavity quantum electrodynamics
- theory of the solid-state

Salary scale : from 2000 to 2400 euros net/month, depending on the
qualification of the
candidate
