1. Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantum Technologies
Prof. Said Mikki’s group at Zhejiang University (ranked in top 3 universities in China) has an open postdoc position on quantum technologies. The project aims to develop new approaches to integrating electromagnetic theory, methods, and devices with quantum physics for novel applications in quantum communications, sensing, informational processing, and advanced materials.
Project background and aim:
The exact details and the scope of the project will be determined based on the candidate’s specific expertise. In general, the aim is to devise methods to integrate electromagnetics and quantum physics for the analysis and design of new generations of devices, materials, and systems, such as quantum antennas for quantum communication systems, quantum circuits for quantum information processing, quantum metamaterials, and novel realizations of quantum computing and sensing devices.
