Quantum Information Transfer in Quantum Dot Arrays: Effects of AC-Driving

The PhD project deals with the development of theoretical models and protocols
to transfer quantum information between qubits in various setups. It focusses on
the impact of spin-orbit interaction and AC driving fields, as well on the coupling
of distant qubits by means of quantum cavities in which photons transfer the
information. The PhD student will learn theoretical modelling and tools to
investigate light-matter interactions, entanglement, spin-photon interactions
mediated by spin-orbit coupling, Floquet theory in both the classical and the
quantum regime, as well as techniques for quantum transport and dissipation
based on density matrices.
The PhD student will be integrated in our group at the Instituto de Ciencia de
Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC): Novel Platforms and Nano-devices for
Quantum Simulation and Computation, see https://wp.icmm.csic.es/npqsic/. It is
located at the UAM Campus with its huge activty in solid-state physics. The host
team has many collaborations with internationally recognized research groups.
The PhD student will participate in the scientific activities of our group and the
ICMM as well as in international schools, and will be offered stays at
international research centers and conferences, which allows scientific network-
ing and collaborations. He or she will be introduced to the topical field of
quantum technologies, in particular quantum computation, information, and
simulation, Floquet theory, quantum transport theory and spin qubits.
The PhD project is financed by a grant of the Spanish Ministry of Science,
Innovation, and Universities. It has a duration of 4 years.
