About this position

PhD position in Theoretical Physics at Stockholm University (Department of Physics / Fysikum), working on quantum sensing with anharmonic systems.

The project is based in the research group led by Sofia Qvarfort and will be carried out at Nordita as part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT). The research environment is international and collaborative, with links to theoretical and experimental quantum physics.

Research topics include quantum sensing, quantum metrology, open quantum systems, quantum information theory, mathematical physics, nonlinear and anharmonic quantum dynamics, non-Gaussian states, distributed quantum sensing, and the role of realistic measurements and environmental noise. The emphasis is on fundamental limits and practical protocols for sensing with mechanically relevant quantum systems, especially mechanical resonators.

Eligibility highlights: a BSc in Physics or equivalent, 60 second-cycle credits in physics with at least 15 credits from a second-cycle degree project, and English proficiency. The post also lists accepted English qualifications, including a degree taught in English, IELTS Academic 6.0+, TOEFL, or Cambridge/Oxford Advanced/Proficiency.

This is a fixed-term salaried doctoral employment for up to four years full-time. The application deadline is 2026-11-03.

Apply via Stockholm University’s recruitment system and upload a personal letter, CV, and the documents requested in the form.

Funding details
