PhD position - theoretical modeling of superconducting devices

The JARA Institute for Quantum Information (PGI-11) of the Jülich Research Centre in Germany offers one or more PhD positions. The positions are funded by German and/or international collaborative projects. The research will focus on modeling superconducting devices, in particular qubits and resonators for quantum information and simulation applications, with the aim to understand and mitigate error sources. Comparison with experimental data will be integral part of the research

A master or equivalent degree in theoretical condensed matter physics (or related fields) and proficiency in English are required. The application material, to be submitted by email, should include: - a short letter of motivation (<1 page) - CV & transcripts - the contact details (names & emails) of two possible referees Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the positions are filled, but there is some flexibility in the starting date.
