Offer Description

The Group of Quantum Information and Quantum Computation at Complutense University of Madrid offers a predoctoral research position for a PhD in theory of open quantum systems, decoherence, and quantum thermodynamics . These areas connect fundamental physics with emerging quantum technologies.

Project overview :

This project focuses on the dynamics and thermodynamics of strongly open quantum systems—systems that interact intensely with their environment. It aims to develop efficient methods beyond standard perturbative techniques and to establish thermodynamic laws in this context.

Implications include :

• Fundamental physics : Exploring the quantum mechanics and thermodynamics interface.

What we offer

• PhD contract to develop a thesis within a leading research group.
• Opportunities for international collaboration and participation in high-impact projects.
• Funding for conferences, workshops, and summer schools.
• Training in advanced research techniques.
• Participation in a collaborative, innovative research environment.
• Research addressing fundamental questions about quantum physics, decoherence, and information-energy interplay.
