PhD position. Quantum Information Transfer in Quantum Dot Arrays: Effects of AC-Driving at Novel Platforms and Nano-devices for Quantum Simulation and Computation, ICMM, CSIC

The PhD project deals with the development of theoretical models and protocols to transfer quantum information between qubits in various setups. It focusses on the impact of spin-orbit interaction and AC driving fields, as well on the coupling of distant qubits by means of quantum cavities in which photons transfer the information. The PhD student will learn theoretical modelling and tools to investigate light-matter interactions, entanglement, spin-photon interactions mediated by spin-orbit coupling, Floquet theory in both the classical and the quantum regime, as well as techniques for quantum transport and dissipation
based on density matrices.

The PhD student will be integrated in our group at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC): Novel Platforms and Nano-devices for Quantum Simulation and Computation. It is
located at the UAM Campus with its huge activty in solid-state physics. The host team has many collaborations with internationally recognized research groups. The PhD student will participate in the scientific activities of our group and the ICMM as well as in international schools, and will be offered stays at international research centers and conferences, which allows scientific networking and collaborations. He or she will be introduced to the topical field of quantum technologies, in particular quantum computation, information, and simulation, Floquet theory, quantum transport theory and spin qubits.

The PhD project is financed by a grant of the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities. It has a duration of 4 years.
