PhD fellowship in Atomic Physics and Quantum Optics

Experimental PhD Project on cavity-mediated interaction of atomic qubits

Niels Bohr Institute
Faculty of SCIENCE

University of Copenhagen

NQCP invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Atomic physics and Quantum optics with cavity-QED based atomic qubit platform.

Start date is June 1st 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

We use ultra-cold atoms in optical traps to realize novel interaction-types that are useful in quantum simulation, computing and for the quantum sensing world.

The PhD project will consist of investigations of Cavity-mediated atomic interactions on a platform of ultra-cold neutral strontium atoms. Using cavities to enable infinite-range interactions and realizing high cooperativity to allow entanglement generation.

You will be part of the design and construction of a new experiment focused on the generation of atomic entanglement through high-cooperativity cavities.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for highly motivated candidates that have a background in Physics or Electrical Engineering. Experimental/computational competences and experience within quantum physics are important. We hope to get applications from enthusiastic students with loads of academic drive, a flair for building set-ups and experimental ingenuity.

Responsibilities and tasks in the PhD programme

  • Carry through an independent research project under supervision
  • Complete PhD courses corresponding to approx. 30 ECTS / ½ FTE
  • Participate in active research environments, including a stay at another research institution, preferably abroad
  • Teaching and knowledge dissemination activities
  • Write scientific papers aimed at high-impact journals
  • Write and defend a PhD thesis on the basis of your project

We are looking for the following qualifications:

  • Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project
  • Other relevant professional activities
  • Curious mind-set with a strong interest in Physics
  • Excellent language skills

Application and Assessment Procedure

Your application including all attachments must be in English and submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.

Please include :

  • Motivated letter of application (max. one page)
  • Curriculum vitae including information about your education, experience, language skills and other skills relevant for the position
  • Original diplomas for Bachelor of Science or Master of Science and transcript of records in the original language, including an authorized English translation if issued in another language than English or Danish. If not completed, a certified/signed copy of a recent transcript of records or a written statement from the institution or supervisor is accepted.
  • Reference letters (if available)

The deadline for applications is March 16th 2025, 23:59 GMT +1.

We reserve the right not to consider material received after the deadline, and not to consider applications that do not live up to the abovementioned requirements.
