Postdoc opportunities in Ultrafast Optical Spectroscopy Group at Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences
2022/5/26 12:03:08About Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences:
To tackle grand challenges in quantum science and technology, Beijing Municipal Government established the Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences (BAQIS) in 2017 with co-founders among top research institutions including Tsinghua University, Peking University and Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its mission is to address pressing issues in the field of quantum information and to shape the quantum future through research excellence. BAQIS strives to provide a stimulating working environment that fosters creativity and encourages risk-taking, collaboration and efficacy.
BAQIS has made substantial investments for strategically important research areas with quantum communication as one of its core focuses. It owns two state-of-the-art platforms of experimental facilities accessible to all its researchers: a cleanroom for micro-nano fabrication and a synergetic test platform.
About the group (Ultrafast Optical Spectroscopy Group)
Our research interests include theoretical and experimental studies quantum optics and quantum simulator related applications. The group is looking for young and dynamic postdoctoral fellows, who will be interested in one of the following topics: theoretical quantum optics, simulating qubits and quantum neural networks. Fellows will be working with Dr. Sanjib Ghosh at BAQIS and will closely working with the experimental colleagues from the group of Professor Qihua Xiong. Our team is equipped with a work station for high performance computing.
Dr. Ghosh is the recipient of 2021 National Natural Science Fund For Excellent Young Scientists Fund Program. The relevant publication list (selected):
