Associate Research Scientist

The Asenjo-Garcia group at Columbia University seeks an associate research scientist interested in theoretical many-body quantum-optics research.

The successful applicant will participate in ongoing theoretical work at the interface of quantum optics, many-body physics, and quantum information. Topics of interest include many-body physics and collective light-matter interaction in atomic arrays, waveguide QED, and cluster state generation for measurement-based quantum computing. The goal is to explore both fundamental ideas and their potential applications in the areas of quantum information science, non-linear optics, and metrology. The associate research scientist will benefit from the rich scientific environment at Columbia, having opportunities to collaborate with other members of the condensed matter theory group as well as with experimentalists across different departments and disciplines (from cold atoms and molecules to photonics and 2D materials).

At the time of starting the position, the associate research scientist should have a Ph. D. in Physics or a related discipline and previous experience in quantum optics, quantum information, and/or many-body physics.
