PhD in Theoretical Quantum Optics of Ultracold Quantum Gases and Nanostructures (Oxford)

position expired
Oxford
A new PhD position in Theoretical Quantum Optics of Ultracold Quantum Gases and Nanostructures is available at the University of Oxford, Department of Physics. The project’s main target is merging quantum optics and many-body physics of quantum gases, using theoretical methods of atomic and condensed matter physics. We will address phenomena, where the quantum natures of both light and ultracold matter play equally important roles. Modern theoretical and experimental studies are just entering this ultimate quantum regime of the light-matter interaction. Applications for quasiparticles in the systems of quantum nanophotonics are of interest as well. For more information, please, visit www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/quantum-optics-of-quantum-many-body-systems The candidates with expertise in either Atomic, Molecular and Optical or Condensed Matter Physics are welcomed to apply. The position is fully funded for EU-related students. Other candidates should apply for additional funding to cover the overseas fees. You may apply before the actual completion date of your Master Degree. To express the intention to apply, and for informal inquiries about the project and application procedure, please, contact the project leader Dr. Igor Mekhov ( www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/contacts/people/Mekhov ) before the deadline 20 January 2012. The application should be submitted online. Please see http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/study-here/postgraduates/atomic-and-laser-physics for information on the requirements on academic ability and English Language tests.
