Dear all,
Please note that two postdoctoral openings are available at CEMES-CNRS in Toulouse, France. The general research area is quantum atomic scale logic gate design and graph Theory.
Atomic scale logic gates integrated at a surface of a semi-conductor or embedded in a single molecule can be designed using classical, semi classical or quantum design rules. They are surface interconnected using multiple surface atomic scale dangling bond wires. According to quantum control, there are 2 ways of using quantum superposition to design a Boolean logic gate. This depends on the kind of inputs performed either using the initial quantum state (Qubit) or a local change in the Hamiltonian (QHC for Quantum Hamiltonian Computing) of the system. We are looking for post-doctoral fellows with a strong background in quantum chemistry and/ or quantum physics for:
-Developing the Quantum graph theory of the QHC approach and its generalization to complex Boolean logic gates within a single molecule or on a semiconductor surface.
-Designing QHC atomic Boolean logic gates with our N-ESQC semi-empirical code able to encompass a large number of atomic scale interconnecting pads and to take into account the atomic scale surface relaxation of the circuit. Time-dependent single molecule latching input will have to be considered to simulate the real time functioning of a surface atomic scale circuit.
Immediately available at the Nanoscience group (GNS) of the Pico-Lab CEMES-CNRS laboratory in Toulouse (France), these post-doctoral positions are for one year with a possible extension. It is supported by the European Integrated project AtMol (www.atmol.eu) and PAMS.
Interested candidates can send an e-mail with their detailed CV and a recommendation letter to:
