Competition for the position
of PhD student fellowship at the Center for Theoretical Physics
The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applications for one PhD
student fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the project PRELUDIUM BIS ‘Studies
of Spectrum Broadcast Structures in Quantum Open Systems Models’ financed from

Jarosław Korbicz.
We are looking for a candidate with a solid theoretical knowledge of quantum
mechanics and enthusiastic about working on quantum foundations and quantum
information theory. The main task within the project is to conduct theoretical investigations
of advanced forms of quantum-to-classical transition and decoherence such as Spectrum
Broadcast Structures and quantum Darwinism in various open systems models and write a
doctoral thesis based on them. The project starts on 2025-01-15 with the duration of 4
years. Details of the project can be found under the link:
