Deadline: 31 December, 2012
Open to: International students who should have good knowledge in non linear and quantum optics, and quantum information science. There are no restrictions of citizenship for the ICFO positions.
Scholarship: not specified
Description
The Quantum Photonics with Solid and Atoms group (QPSA, www.qpsa.icfo.es) at ICFO, led by Prof. Hugues de Riedmatten, is opening a Master thesis position in experimental quantum optics. The project is within the framework of quantum information science, which goal is to control quantum coherence effects in matter and light to enable new information processing capabilities. More precisely, the project will focus on the realization of quantum memories (QM) for light. QMs allow a coherent and reversible transfer of quantum information between light and long lived matter quantum bits.
The awarded student with scholarship will be part of a dynamic and international team, working on one of the above mentioned topics. The Institute of Photonics Sciences is located in Spain.
Eligibility
The candidate should have good knowledge in non linear and quantum optics, and quantum information science.
There are no restrictions of citizenship for the ICFO positions.
