Position Description: |
Several postdoc and PhD positions are open at Jozef Stefan Institute, as part "Weakly driven quantum symmetries" (DrumS) ERC project lead by Zala Lenarcic.
The DrumS project will establish a new paradigm for stabilizing exotic non-thermal states by weakly driving quantum many-body systems. Present research theoretically predicts peculiar non-thermal states in fine-tuned models with additional symmetries, for example, in integrable models with macroscopically many conservation laws. However, these models and their exact symmetries cannot be accurately realized in solid-state experiments and even quantum simulators. DrumS aims to show theoretically that weak driving can boost the underlying symmetries in realistic setups and have a substantial effect on quantities protected by approximate symmetries to realize exotic transport and other non-thermal quantum properties with potential use in quantum technologies. The research program will include:
The starting date is negotiable, preferably in the summer or autumn of 2023. The appointment is for 4 years for the PhD position and for 2+1 years for the postdoc positions. The deadline for application is February 28th 2023, however, the applications will be considered as they are received until the positions are filled.
