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

Lund University’s Division of Atomic Physics is recruiting a doctoral student for research in attosecond physics, quantum information science and ultrafast nonlinear control. The project is part of the QU-ATTO Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network, which connects doctoral researchers across Europe.

The research focuses on tomographic reconstruction of entangled states in photoionization. The doctoral researcher will work to improve a technique developed in Lund for reconstructing the density matrix of photoelectrons generated when atoms and molecules absorb ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet pulses. The project combines attosecond light pulses, photoionization, quantum optics and the study of electron dynamics.

The work is embedded in a broad research environment covering ultrafast laser technology, extreme nonlinear optics, atomic and molecular physics, high-intensity laser-plasma physics, quantum information and biophotonics. The division operates the High-Power Laser Facility, including advanced femtosecond laser systems, and collaborates with free-electron-laser facilities.

The student will join the Lund Laser Centre and work within the Department of Physics at Lund University, one of the university’s major interdisciplinary research environments. Doctoral duties primarily involve research studies, participation in the project and third-cycle courses, with possible teaching and other departmental activities.

The position offers participation in a European training network alongside 15 other doctoral researchers working on related research themes.

Funding details

The position is a fixed-term doctoral studentship with a monthly salary and full-time employment at 100%. The doctoral programme consists of four years of full-time studies; the employment may last up to five years including departmental duties of no more than 20%. The project is funded through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network QU-ATTO.

What's required

Applicants must meet the general admission requirements for third-cycle studies: a second-cycle qualification, at least 240 credits including at least 60 second-cycle credits, or substantially equivalent knowledge. Specific requirements include at least 30 relevant second-cycle credits, including a second-cycle degree project of at least 15 credits, or an MSc in engineering physics or a related field, or a master's degree in physics or a related field. Very good spoken and written English is required, along with a background in optics/photonics and/or atomic physics/quantum mechanics. Experience with femtosecond lasers and ultrafast optics, quantum optics, high-order harmonic generation and attosecond physics, photoelectron or photoion spectroscopy, data analysis, vacuum techniques, or mechanical design is advantageous. Applicants must have the potential to complete the doctoral programme and cannot have worked in Sweden during the preceding five years to be eligible for this Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral network position.

How to apply

Apply through the Varbi recruitment portal. Submit a cover letter in English or Swedish, CV, degree certificate or equivalent, and any supporting documents such as transcripts, references and recommendation letters.
