Applications are invited for a PhD position in theoretical quantum physics, to start between March 2024 and September 2024. The position will be hosted by the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (DIAS) and the student will be registered in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The position is fully funded for 4 years.
Research area
The position is funded by the SFI Pathways project “Robust and resource-efficient quantum metrology”. There will be opportunities to work on a range of topics including (but not limited to):
Developing schemes for robust quantum sensing in many-body systems
Tradeoffs in precision / energy efficiency in quantum sensing
Exploring many-body physics on digital quantum simulators
Hosting institutions/groups
The position will be hosted by the DIAS School of Theoretical Physics, although the student will be registered in TCD School of Physics. Both institutions are located within walking distance of each other in Dublin city centre. The student will also be a member of the Trinity Quantum Alliance (TQA).
