Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoc position in the Atomic Frequency Standards group at the National Metrological Institute, Turin, Italy (https://labafs.inrim.it/).
The research fellow will collaborate with Gianluca Bertaina and develop new efficient and parallel numerical methods for many-body open quantum systems, merging time-dependent quantum Monte Carlo variational methods and stochastic unraveling of master equations, within a research collaboration including the University of Milan. The aim is to simulate multilevel atom-photon systems, which are relevant for trapped cold atoms coupled to optical cavities, with single-atom dephasing and decay terms. Research will be conducted in contact with the INRIM experimental groups building optical atomic clocks, aiming at contributing to the design of novel setups exploiting spin-squeezing generation in a cavity-enhanced optical clock with Strontium atoms. A recent related publication is https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.15725.
The ideal candidate is expert in one or more of the following:
-Theory of open quantum systems
-Atomic physics and light-matter interaction
-Numerical methods for many-body quantum systems
Willingness to bridge theoretical and experimental research is very appreciated.
This position is sponsored by the Italian Research Ministry, within the PRIN 2022 project "Efficient simulation and design of quantum control strategies for many-body quantum systems" (CONTRABASS). Details can be found at https://bandi.miur.it/bandi.php/public/fellowship/id_fellow/249868. Deadline is December 12, 2023. Please also contact directly G. Bertaina for application instructions.
