PhD Opportunities in Quantum Optics in Turkey

The University of East Anglia’s School of Engineering, Maths and Physics is offering a PhD project in theoretical quantum optics, open quantum systems, non-Markovianity, and quantum information. The research will investigate light–matter interactions and quantum-information dynamics in complex open quantum systems. Candidate systems may include arrays of interacting atoms and complex molecules coupled to environments that can feed information back into the system. The project aims to determine h...

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 ...

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 pro...

These PhD positions are in the Taminiau Lab at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) , working within the QuTech quantum technology environment. The project focuses on quantum networks based on spin defects in silicon carbide (SiC) , with the goal of developing scalable building blocks for future quantum computation, simulation, and communication. As a PhD researcher, you will help investigate and develop SiC devices that support fast optical entanglement links and high-fidelity spin-qubit c...

This PhD project at Eindhoven University of Technology focuses on entanglement routing in quantum optical fiber networks , combining theory, simulation, and experimentation to build telecom-grade quantum networking technologies. You will develop an entanglement-based routing architecture and protocol and set up an experimental multi-node testbed for routing entangled photons alongside classical telecom traffic. The project investigates how quantum-classical packets can be generated, detected, fr...

[Maintenance stipend at UELA enhanced rate; expected to be £26,022 for 2026/27, about £1,500 above the UKRI London-weighted rate of £24,522.] This PhD studentship at University College London explores the use of terahertz (THz) photons as a new resource for quantum control and topological quantum information. The project sits at the intersection of quantum optics, condensed-matter theory and numerical modelling, with a focus on how THz radiation can manipulate matter at the single- and few-photo...

At DTU Physics, four PhD students will join a broad quantum science effort spanning experimental quantum optics, optomechanics, microscopy and theory/software for photonic quantum computing. The positions are based in the Section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT) and bigQ – Center for Macroscopic Quantum States , within an international environment that combines advanced quantum-optical laboratories, quantum information theory and large-scale computational research. The adver...

The Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics (KSOP) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology offers a structured PhD programme focused on optics and photonics , two technologies at the centre of modern optical communications, sensing, biomedical diagnostics, lighting, and solar energy applications. The school is positioned at the interface of the natural sciences and engineering disciplines and brings together research across several closely linked areas.
