Quantum optics

…The search includes quantum optics, quantum simulation and connections with quantum-information science.

The condensed-matter and quantum-information theory groups seek postdoctoral researchers for autumn 2027, with flexible starting dates. Research spans quantum many-body dynamics, entanglement, correlated materials, topology, superconductivity, quantum optics, ultracold gases, quantum simulation and computation. Successful applicants can join international experimental and theoretical collaborations. Pay follows the German TV-L agreement. Submit supporting materials by 22 November 2026; the advert notes that later applications may also be considered.

Theoretical postdoctoral positions investigating hybrid quantum light-matter systems, including quantum-gas cavity QED and polaritonic chemistry; requires a PhD in physics with expertise in quantum optics and open quantum systems. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis until the hard deadline.

RIKEN's Quantum Information Physics Theory Research Team is recruiting multiple researchers to conduct theoretical work across quantum computing, superconducting qubits, quantum optics, photonics, machine learning, quantum open systems, computational physics and condensed-matter physics. Appointments are available at senior research scientist, research scientist and postdoctoral levels, with duties scaled to experience. The official call is open until the positions are filled.

…physics is the highest priority; quantum information, quantum computing, quantum optics and other physics areas are also considered. Appointees develop independent research, teach core and advanced physics courses, and mentor students. Initial review begins on 30 November 2026.

Develop optical-fibre and nanophotonic devices for quantum optics and quantum electronics. Research also includes distributed quantum computing and networks combining cold neutral atoms with nanophotonic cavity systems.

…The role supports a team studying quantum information, superconducting circuits, quantum optics and related areas.
