The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the French Singaporean international laboratory (MajuLab) are seeking a talented postdoctoral fellow to conduct theoretical and numerical investigations into the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang physics of polariton condensates and random quantum circuits. The research will focus on describing the fluctuation properties of polariton condensates and the transport of quantum information in random quantum circuits using KPZ physics.

The KPZ equation, introduced in 1986 to describe the growth of rough surfaces, has since become a captivating area of research due to its remarkable universality. This project involves studying three quantum platforms where recent studies have shown signatures of KPZ physics: random quantum circuits (the main focus of this research position), Anderson localization, and exciton-polariton condensates, as detailed in [Nahum et al., PRX 2017; Mu et al., PRL 2024; Fontaine et al., Nature 2023]. By following upon this unique cross-platform connection, one has the opportunity to discover new properties in each of these systems that could not have been envisaged otherwise. In this position, the fellow's primary focus will be on the first and last platform and interact closely with two other fellows dedicated to the other platforms.

The candidate should possess a solid academic track record and some prior experience in quantum disordered systems, quantum transport, many-body physics, quantum information, quantum fluids, or cold atoms. Proficiency in numerical simulations is essential.

The appointee will join CQT under the supervision of a group of researchers including Profs. Kwek Leong-Chuan, Hui Khoon Ng, Jiangbin Gong, Gabriel Lemarié, Maxime Richard, and Christian Miniatura. The candidate will actively contribute to all aspects of the group's operation, including co-supervising interns and PhD candidates.
