Dear all,
FYI
http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index.cfm/jobs/jobDetails/33869162 Description
One of the major prospects for bringing nano-
and micro-mechanical systems into the quantum regime is their application to
quantum information processing. Due to their flexibility to couple to a variety
of physical systems (photons, electrons, atoms etc.) together with their
on-chip integrability mechanical quantum systems enable novel opportunities for
quantum information science, in particular as universal quantum transducer
system or as quantum memory. Current challenges involve the preparation of
mechanical quantum states of sufficient purity, interfacing to other (quantum)
systems, the development of hybrid devices with sufficiently strong coupling to
achieve coherent state manipulation and the development of quantum information
protocols adapted to nano- and micro-mechanical architectures. These positions
will focus on the optomechanical aspect by designing experiments that allow to
transfer optical quantum states onto mechanical resonators. In addition, the
preparation of entanglement between optics and mechanics will allow to
interface mechanical quantum states to other stationary quantum systems, e.g.
spin qubits, via an optical bus. Furthermore, the preparation of quantum states
of mechanical resonators offers exciting new possibilities for macroscopic
quantum experiments at the foundations of quantum physics. The dimension and
mass of optomechanical systems allows quantum experiments in a completely new
parameter regime. The successful candidates will investigate prospects and
challenges of such experiments.

Early Stage Researchers are those with less
than 4 years of research experience. The researchers are appointed directly by
the selected host for periods between 3 months and 3 years. Any researcher
already holding a PhD is not eligible to be appointed. Eligible researchers may
not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host
organisation for more than 12 months in the three years immediately prior to
their appointment.
All applications must be received by the
closing date of 15th July 2013
