This PhD project will develop high-bandwidth quantum frequency converters for future hybrid quantum networks. The research addresses a central challenge in quantum networking: quantum technologies often operate at incompatible optical wavelengths. Visible single-photon sources, telecom communication channels and atomic quantum memories therefore require interfaces capable of translating photons between wavelength regimes. The project will use four-wave mixing in warm rubidium vapour to develop t...

This four-year PhD project in advanced signalling and detection in quantum communications explores how quantum communication systems can remain effective when quantum states and communication channels are uncertain. The research will design and optimise resilient quantum signalling constellations for conveying classical information. In particular, the project will investigate constellation designs that maximise minimum trace distance and uniform Holevo-x information, addressing the limits impose...

About this position

The Division of Atomic Physics at Lund University is seeking one doctoral student for research in attosecond physics within a strong interdisciplinary environment linked to the Lund Laser Centre. The division works across optics and lasers, ultrashort light pulses, high-intensity laser-plasma physics, quantum information, and biophotonics, and operates the High-Power Laser Facility with advanced femtosecond laser systems alongside collaborations with free-electron laser facilities.

This PhD project sits at the intersection of ultrafast laser technology, extreme nonlinear optics, and the study of electron dynamics in atoms and molecules using attosecond and extreme ultraviolet light. The advertised project is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network QU-ATTO and focuses on developing and applying tomographic reconstruction techniques for entangled states in photoionization. In particular, the work aims to improve a technique developed in Lund for reconstructing the density matrix of photoelectrons produced by absorption of ultrashort XUV pulses by atoms and molecules.

The doctoral student will be embedded in a research group that is actively engaged in these ultrafast and photonics-related areas, with a broader setting that includes undergraduate teaching in the Photonics programme. The position offers participation in a European training network with other doctoral researchers across different countries.

Funding details

Funded through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network (QU-ATTO); doctoral studentship is full-time for 4 years and may last up to 5 years including up to 20% departmental duties.

What's required

Applicants must meet general third-cycle admission requirements, including a second-cycle qualification, at least 240 higher-education credits with at least 60 at second-cycle level, or equivalent knowledge. Specific admission requires at least 30 second-cycle credits relevant to Physics, including at least 15 credits from a second-cycle degree project, or an MSc in engineering physics, physics, or an associated field. Candidates from other disciplines may be considered if judged suitable. Very good oral and written English is required. A background in optics/photonics and/or atomic physics/quantum mechanics is expected, and experience in femtosecond lasers and ultrafast optics, quantum optics, high-order harmonic generation, attosecond physics, photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy, data analysis, vacuum technique, or mechanical design is advantageous. Applicants must also be judged to have the potential to complete the programme, with emphasis on relevant knowledge, independent problem-solving, communication skills, collaboration, drive, and independence. Candidates recruited to the MSCA network must not have worked in Sweden for the last 5 years.

How to apply

Apply through Lund University’s Varbi application portal. Submit a cover letter explaining your interest and fit for the project, together with a CV, degree certificate or equivalent, and any additional documents you want considered such as transcripts, reference contacts, and recommendation letters.
