About this position
This PhD project in theoretical quantum physics is hosted by the University of Geneva in the Department of Theoretical Physics and the Quantum Dynamics group. The work is jointly supervised by Julian Sonner and Romain Vasseur.
The project focuses on connections between measurement-induced phenomena, quantum chaos, and holography. The successful student will explore open and monitored quantum dynamics, the emergence of quantum chaos and pseudorandomness, and broader links to ideas from holography and quantum gravity.
The position is embedded in Geneva’s active theoretical physics and quantum information environment, with close interaction across the two research groups and the wider Geneva Quantum Center. The advert presents a research setting that combines theoretical physics, quantum information, and nearby communities working on related quantum topics.
