PhD student position in fluid mechanics of turbulent clouds

Climate change is a socio-economic challenge, and climate simulations are the only tool to predict our planet's future climate. Clouds are crucial for weather and climate predictions. According to the IPCC, cloud modelling is one of the least understood domains in climate sciences and is “listed as one of the most urgent problems requiring scientific attention”. Clouds are considered the largest source of uncertainty in climate predictions because it is complicated to accurately model the small-scale process (microphysics) inside clouds occurring in a range from meters to nanometers in a global climate model where the resolution is of the order of Kilometers. This project will address this challenge by using novel multiscale techniques developed for general multiphase flows that allow us to accurately solve the small-scale cloud turbulence and its impact on nucleation, evaporation and collisions of cloud droplets.

Project description
The Department of Mechanics and Maritime Science at Chalmers University is offering a doctoral position to investigate, quantify, and model the impact of turbulence on the dynamics of water droplets/aerosols inside warm ice-free clouds. The methodology combines different numerical techniques including Direct (DNS) and Large-Eddy (LES) Simulations, together with stochastic models to predict the water droplet number and size spectra inside clouds and the mechanics of rain formation. The aim is to measure the main microphysical processes that determine, in combination with turbulence, the cloud droplet sizes: nucleation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), growth by condensation of water vapor, growth by collisions/coalescence induced by turbulence and gravity. The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves interactions and collaborations with statistics and atmospheric physicists.

Information about the division and the department
The position will be open at the Fluid Dynamic division of Mechanical and Maritime Science department. The research at the Division covers turbulent flow (both compressible and incompressible), multiphase flows, aero-acoustics and turbomachines. Our tools include both computations and experiments. The research covers a wide range of topics. In some research projects the smallest turbulent scales are studied whereas in others the function of a complete gas turbine is analyzed and modelled. The Division of Fluid Dynamics is part of Chalmers Sustainable Transport Initiative, Chalmers eScience Initiative and Chalmers Energy Initiative.

Major responsibilities
As a PhD student, you will be central to the development of the project, and also be responsible for the implementation, validation and data analysis of the numerical tools.

Postdoc in optimal control for quantum gate error reduction - a collaboration between Chalmers University and Aalto University.

Quantum gate error reduction – materials and circuit architectures for superconducting quantum computers, a collaboration between Chalmers University, Sweden and Aalto University, Finland. Come to the cutting edge of quantum technology – join our multi-talented, collaborative team working toward the common goal of building a 100-qubit quantum computer by 2025. You will be part of the most exciting things happening in this field, such as the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) in Sweden, the Centre of Excellence Quantum Technology Finland (QTF), and the EU Flagship on Quantum Technology OpenSuperQplus.

Information about the project
The reduction of quantum gate errors represents the most important problem in the development of quantum computers in any technological platform. By this metric, superconducting qubits constitute a leading platform, with the best demonstrated two-qubit gate errors currently at the 0.1-0.2% level. Meaningful quantum computing requires that these errors be reduced to 0.01% in a scalable and reliable way across the multi-qubit chip. To achieve this, we will deploy advanced theoretical methods and we will implement the protocols experimentally. Progress in this direction will constitute a major breakthrough in quantum computing, as it will open the way to realistic implementations of error correction.

As a postdoc working on this collaborative project you are expected to spend 50-75% of your time at Chalmers, with substantial research visits to Aalto. You will have the unique opportunity of experiencing the working culture in top-level research groups in two Nordic countries.

The project is funded for 2 years by WACQT with the possibility of a 5-month ramp-up phase in 2022 funded by QTF. The Project has two PIs:
PI in Sweden: Giovanna Tancredi, Chalmers (tancredi@chalmers.se)
PI in Finland: Sorin Paraoanu, Aalto (sorin.paraoanu@aalto.fi)

Major responsibilities
In a superconducting quantum processor, quantum gates are realized by on-resonant or near-resonant microwave pulses with the intent of inducing Rabi oscillations on the desired qubit. However, standard Rabi pulses are not robust against errors in frequency and timing, and they are also not optimal with respect to leakage into higher excited qubit states. The goal of this project is to use advanced methods in optimal control theory to accurately manipulate control pulses for generating both single and two-qubit gates. You are expected to develop these optimal control techniques and to experimentally demonstrate improvement of the quantum gate fidelities of Chalmers quantum processors. You will work on reducing the gate errors that are limited by systematic control errors.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, or equivalent. Experience in experimental quantum computing, microwave quantum optics, or related fields in experimental physics will be highly appreciated, but we are looking also for theorists who would engage closely to our experimental groups. You are motivated for a career in quantum technology, be it in academia or at an institute or company. You have a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. You pay attention to detail and enjoy to solve complex problems. You are also willing to help supervise PhD students. The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English.

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
