Phd Scholarship: Advancing Quantum Experiments To Test Reality Beyond Bell'S Theorem – Experime
2 days ago
Company Description
Griffith University's Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute (QUATRI) undertakes world-leading quantum science and technology research. The Centre comprises more than 40 researchers with strong collaborations between world-leading experimental and theoretical groups. Our cutting-edge research encompasses many areas, including quantum information processing, quantum foundations, and ultrafast quantum processes.
The PhD will be undertaken at Griffith University Brisbane South (Nathan) in the Quantum Optics and Information Laboratory (QOIL). As Griffith is a multi-site University you may be required to work across other locations. In QOIL, we use photons to investigate the fundamental rules of quantum physics and how to exploit them in quantum technologies, thereby addressing important research questions in quantum communication, quantum computing, remote processing, quantum information security, and precision measurement. The project's experiments will be done in collaboration with the theory groups led by Professor Howard Wiseman and Professor Eric Cavalcanti, pioneers in quantum theory and nonlocality.
Griffith University sites are located on the lands of the Yugarabul, Yuggera, Jagera, Turrbal, Yugambeh and Kombumerri peoples.
Job Description
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to complete their research training at the Quantum Optics and Information Laboratory at Griffith University. The primary focus of this role is to develop the ability to perform high-level quantum optical experiments and master quantum foundations and information concepts. Success in this role requires collaboration skills to work in an international and multicultural environment.
This PhD project aims to develop and perform quantum experiments that will impose strong constraints on the nature of reality, even stronger than the constraints imposed by the Bell experiments recognised by the 2022 physics Nobel Prize. Expected outcomes include probing the nature of observation itself, for increasingly sophisticated systems acting as observers, and laying the theoretical groundwork for future tests that can rule out whole classes of theories about the world and our experience of it. Some of the benefits that will likely accrue are : pushing the development of photonic technology in novel directions, with the possibility of shedding light on the quantum measurement problem.
Qualifications
The selection of applicants for the award of higher degree research scholarships at Griffith University involves consideration of your academic merit and research background. To be successful in this role, you should be able to engage with complex research problems in a systematic, critical, and logical manner. You will have evidence of perseverance, attention to detail, and a passion for scientific research. A strong desire to undertake research in quantum information and foundations, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives, is required.
- Expressions of interest are welcome from domestic and international applicants.
- Applicants must have completed, or expect to complete, a bachelors degree with honours equivalent to first class honours or a Masters degree (AQF Level 9) incorporating a significant research component of a standard comparable to a bachelor honours degree or be regarded by Griffith University as having an equivalent level of attainment in accordance with Schedule One of theHDR Scholarship Procedure.For further information on the eligibility requirements for the program referhere.
Please note :
Knowledge or experimental experience in quantum optics (particularly continuous variable optical systems) or quantum information will be an advantage.International applicants should ensure that English Language Proficiency requirements for the program are met before formally applying.
