Missions

The goal of this theoretical post-doc project is to mathematically analyze and
describe the dynamics induced by collective dissipative mechanisms in mathematical
models where emitters are not just two-level systems, but include motional degrees of freedom.

Activités

- Perform theoretical (numerical and analytical) studies on models of superradiant molecular ensembles. Maintain detailed documentation of research processes and results
- Write open numerical simulation codes for simulations of such models
- Collaborate with other research team members on the subject, and on other related project.
- Disseminate research results: Prepare publications for publication international journals, and present research results at international conferences
- Travel to international conferences to represent the research group
- Conduct literature reviews to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field
- Mentor other junior researchers or students in the team
- Develop and manage independent research ideas

Compétences

Required knowledge: The candidate (M/F) needs to have a solid understanding of advanced quantum mechanics, with a PhD degree in Theoretical Physics. An understanding of quantum optics and the physics of interacting quantum many-body systems is necessary. Additionally an understanding of concepts in numerical simulation techniques for quantum many-body models is required.

Required skills: The candidate (M/F) needs to have advanced knowledge in scientific programming (C++ or Julia preferred). Experience in scientific publishing and scientific presentations is necessary. The research project is 100% conducted in an english-speaking environment, fluent knowledge of written and spoken English is mandatory (CEFR level C1-C2).

The candidate (M/F) is expected to integrate into a research team, interacting socially with other team members, sharing ideas and mentoring other junior researchers or students.

Contexte de travail

The candidate will work as a post-doc in the Laboratory of Computational Quantum Many-Body Theory (https://cqmt.org/) at the European Center for Quantum Sciences (https://cesq.eu) in Strasbourg, France.

CESQ is a transnational quantum research and educational hub of the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS. We build upon an exceptional tradition of interdisciplinary research in Strasbourg that covers quantum physics chemistry, materials science, photonics and computing. CESQ provides an open environment for collaborations, training and innovation with state-of-the-art experimental and theory research. CESQ is part of the interdisciplinary institute of excellence “ISIS – Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires” (UMR 7006).

Offices are located at the Cronenbourg campus in Strasbourg, an attractive green campus reachable in a few minutes from the Strasbourg city center by public transport. The campus features not only an excellent professional work-environment but also recreational sport activities and an affordable university restaurant.

Contraintes et risques

This theoretical research project will be conducted in a typical office environment. International traveling to conferences will be necessary for disseminating research results.
