Dear colleagues,

We are currently seeking outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral
research position at theory group of Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance
(JARA) at Peter Grünberg Institute in Germany. I would appreciate very
 much if you could let potential applicants know about this
opportunity.
Please feel free to share the following announcement.

Best regards,

Title: Postdoctoral research position on Quantum Information and
Thermodynamics in Germany

Quantum thermodynamics:
Exact correspondences between seemingly different concepts play an
important role in all fields of physics. An example is the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem, which states that linear response of
a system to external driving force corresponds to system fluctuations
and this initiated important developments. Owing to technological
miniaturization, nowadays quantum systems can be probed and controlled
to high accuracy. However, theoretical efforts to identify quantum
phenomena in thermodynamics are stalled by the difficulty of defining
basic quantum quantities, such as heat flow, entropy production, work,
and temperature. Recently using quantum information techniques Nazarov
and Ansari introduced a new correspondence in physics to extend the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem into the realm of quantum systems.

To further study and test this new correspondence the theory group of
Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) at Peter Grünberg Institute in
Germany is looking for highly motivated candidates to fill a postdoc
position over the next few months.The project will be supervised by
Dr. Ansari, and may involve collaborations with leading experimental
groups.

Candidates with a PhD degree (or nearly graduating) in theoretical
condensed matter physics or a related field can apply. Preference will
be given to candidates with experience in background in quantum
computation, condensed matter, statistical mechanics, and related
topics, but strong candidates from other fields are encouraged to
apply.

The application material should include:

• CV & transcripts
• names & emails of 3 referees

If interested, please submit your files to m.ansari at fz-juelich.de.
Review of applications will start in September and will continue until
the position is filled.

Please do not hesitate to contact us  if you think you are interested
but you have questions about the position before you apply.

Forschungszentrum Jülich aims to employ more women in this area and
therefore particulary welcomes applications from women. We also
welcome applications from disabled persons.
