The Trapped Ion Quantum Technology Group at Stockholm University is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to contribute to pioneering research in open-system quantum simulations with trapped Rydberg ions. This position is part of the ERC Synergy project “Open 2D Quantum Simulator (OPEN-2QS)”.
The OPEN-2QS project aims at developing a 2D quantum simulator for open system quantum dynamics using trapped ions excited to Rydberg states. This novel approach features fast interactions combined with long-term stability. This will enable the simulation and study of phenomena such as novel states of matter like quantum glasses, molecular dynamics and quantum thermodynamics.
The project is primarily experimental and will be carried out within the Trapped Ion Quantum Technology Group at Stockholm University. It will involve close collaboration with experimentalists and theoreticians at the Universities of Mainz and Tübingen within the framework of the ERC Synergy project.
Closing date: 7 March 2025.
