From 2025, we offer a PhD position in the development and construction of a new quantum-gas microscope with fermionic lithium aimed at taking this control to the next level via digital quantum gates. Such gate-based control, as known from quantum computers, will allow us to address even more complex quantum problems, for example, from high-temperature superconductivity or quantum chemistry.

A position is available for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the new Fermionic Quantum Simulation team in an exciting research project at the intersection of neutral-atom quantum simulations and quantum computing. Funded by the European Union under ERC Grant FOrbQ, we will use a quantum-gas microscope to manipulate the dynamics of ultracold fermions in optical lattices at the single-atom level, utilising high-fidelity programmable quantum gates.

We are seeking a PhD student to work on demonstration of Deterministic QC with one clean qubit (DQC1) on a neutral atom array.

Unlock the mysteries of many-body quantum systems in this PhD project, where ultracold atoms in optical lattices are manipulated with quantum-gas microscopes! Explore novel quantum states, study the impact of disordered lattice potentials, and create intricate spin distributions—all paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries in materials science, chemistry, and biology.

We have an open post-doc position in our team, for research on ultracold atoms in optical lattices. We use a quantum-gas microscope to probe the dynamics of ultracold fermions at the single-atom level.

We have an open postdoctoral position as part of the newly starting EPSRC Programme Grant, Quantum Advantage in Quantitative Quantum Simulation (QQQS). The project focuses on the study of quantum many-body states of ultracold gases in periodic potentials.

We are looking at the spontaneous emergence of intriguing spatial structures (stripes, hexagons, droplets …) and their dynamics in cold atoms via light-mediated interactions. The investigations timely link the fundamental field of emergent phases in many-body open quantum systems to potential applications in quantum technologies.

You will be part of a new research area for the UK, namely making absolute and traceable measurements of temperature using optical measurements of the Doppler broadening of an atomic transition. The aim is to scale to practical (~mm sized) sensors using miniature optical cells filled with appropriate atomic/molecular species. This project is in conjunction with external collaborative partner Graham Machin at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

A position is available for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the Waveguided Atom Interferometry experiment. The project is part of a multi-partner collaboration, Chip-scale Atomic Systems for a Quantum Navigator, funded by an EPSRC Programme Grant.
