Narodowe Centrum Nauki prezentuje bazę ogłoszeń o wolnych stanowiskach pracy przy projektach finansowanych przez Centrum. Narodowe Centrum Nauki nie ponosi odpowiedzialności za treść i wiarygodność przesyłanych ofert pracy.
Uprzejmie informujemy o nowych warunkach zatrudniania osób na stanowiska typu post-doc: limit czasu upływającego od uzyskania stopnia doktora dla aplikujących na te stanowiska kobiet może być przedłużony o 1,5 roku za każde urodzone bądź przysposobione dziecko.
Requirements:
1. PhD degree in mathematics or physics.
2. High expertise in quantum cryptography, general knowledge about quantum information theory and related mathematical tools, knowledge about recent literature of the topic of the project.
3. Basic skills in programming C, C++, or Mathematica, high level of English in reading (writing and speaking)
4. Advanced knowledge of mathematical tools, basic knowledge of other programming languages such as Python and MATLAB and basic knowledge about quantum and classical networks including graph theory highly appreciated.
5. High motivation to conduct scientific research.
Description of the tasks:
Researchers across Europe, within the Quantum Internet Alliance team and other teams worldwide, are making a strong effort to build a fully functioning Quantum Internet. The task is challenging since one encounters inherent difficulties when designing entanglement networks due to decoherence and the quantum no-cloning principle. The project DIFFQRN from the National Science Centre aims to compare the optimality of the various proposed solutions to this problem, estimate their cost, and design more optimal solutions if needed. Since the generation of the secure key is one of the main applications in the future of the Internet, the special focus will be on expressing the cost in terms of the invested secure key. The broad vision of a part of this project is to develop quantum Internet in an optimal, least costly way.
The candidate as the key member of the DIFFQRN project, will conduct scientific research, contribute to writing publications, and present obtained results at conferences and seminars.
