The Faculty of Science & Technology, University of Twente invites applications for its Ph.D. positions in Experimental Quantum Optics (BEC-NETWORK project) in the Netherlands.
Despite great advances in both algorithms and computer technology, even typical cases of many well-known mathematical optimization problems are too difficult to be solved on today’s computers. Unconventional approaches that break with the usual paradigms of digital electronic computers can help overcome these limitations. Optical spin-glass simulation is a novel method for solving such computationally intensive problems more efficiently.
The BEC-NETWORK project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and aims to build and study an optical simulator for classical spin models that consists of a network of coupled photon Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical microresonator. The candidate’s task will be to advance the work in our laboratories with experimental skills and a good theoretical understanding.
