Postdoc positions at Quantum Information group at CTP PAS, Warsaw, Supervisor: P. Lipka-Bartosik
Dec. 15, 2025 - Jan. 31, 2026 , Center for Theoretical Physics, Warsaw

We are looking for a Postdoc in a project “Thermodynamics of Information Processing: From Theory to Applications”. The project is focused on information thermodynamics, an area bridging information theory, stochastic thermodynamics, and quantum physics. Research topics may include thermodynamic computing, quantum effects in information processing, and the optimisation of thermodynamic protocols. For details and enquiries, please contact: lbartosik@cft.edu.pl

Master internship, Many-Body system thermodynamics, Supervisor: Cyril Elouard
Sept. 22, 2025 - Nov. 1, 2025 , Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France

Recent progress in quantum thermodynamics allows to analyze work and heat exchanges between quantum systems. However, applying those definitions require to keep track of the full state of the systems, which is intractable for large quantum systems. The intern will join the effort of the group to build a formalism for nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics involving only a few macroscopic observables, relevant for numerical or experimental analysis of many-body systems.
