Offer Description

COMPETITION OPENING DATE OCTOBER 5, 2023

Post-doc position will be devoted to the study of fundamental bounds and optimal protocols in quantum metrology in presence of correlated noise models in optical and atomic systems both in single and multiparamter problems.

Post-doc position will be financed under the project “Correlated Noise Effects in Quantum Metrology” financed by the Polish National Science Center under OPUS programme.

Work will be performed at the Institue of Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Physics University of Warsaw, under the supervision of dr. hab. Rafał Demkowicz-Dobrzański (the PI of the project)

The candidate must meet the conditions set by the National Science Center for people employed in a post-doc position. In particular, the person employed for this position must have a doctoral degree obtained no earlier than 7 years before the year of employment in the project.
