Two half-time PhD researcher positions are available at the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS in Warsaw within the EUCENTRAL project on quantum technologies modelling. The researchers will join the Modelling Center for Quantum Technologies group led by Dr. Federico Balducci and collaborate closely with the group of Prof. Marzena Szymańska at University College London . The project is focused on numerical methods for quantum open many-body systems , with specific interest in methods such as the quantum trajectory method for multimode ultracold gases with particle losses. A key part of the work is to further develop methods that are already being created at CTP PAS and make them more broadly usable by integrating them with other repositories. The positions are based in a research institute with a strong theoretical physics environment, active international collaborations, and a broad research profile spanning quantum information, space and gravity, semiconductors, and atomic gases. The advertised roles sit within this wider setting and are intended for candidates who want to contribute to computational and theoretical research at the interface of quantum many-body physics and open quantum systems. The institute emphasizes a scientifically stimulating, collaborative, and inclusive environment, with close interaction across teams and support for flexible working where possible.
