Other Information

FSU has made bold recent investments in QSE, creating an interdisciplinary FSU Quantum Initiative ( https://quantum.fsu.edu ). The mission of FSU Quantum is to accelerate the discovery of novel quantum phenomena that can impact the design of engineered systems for quantum information processing, communication, sensing, and algorithms, as well as devices and hardware that rely on quantum protocols. In alignment with the FSU Quantum mission, we seek to fill multiple tenure-track or tenured positions in two broadly defined QSE areas:

Quantum Devices: Seeking individuals specializing in quantum devices, hardware, and measurements. Areas of interest encompass quantum materials and devices, quantum optics, advanced spectroscopy, microscopy, and other quantum device fabrication and characterization techniques.

Quantum Theory: Seeking individuals in the domains of quantum information, theory, and computation. Those keen on utilizing and developing cutting-edge theoretical, computational, and architectural techniques relevant to QSE are encouraged to apply.
