Details regarding three project sets

Please refer to the project description attached below.

Theoretical and Computational Projects Jointly supervised by a PhD student at IST Austria and a postdoc at IISc.

Multiple projects available all in the field of ion traps, all with a time requirement of about 10-20h/week (not inclusive of program runtime :)). Basic competence with python expected (mostly use of numpy, scipy, and matplotlib)

Project set 1 requirements: Understanding of and comfort with classical mechanics and electromagnetism

Project set 2 requirements: Understanding of and comfort with Quantum mechanics at the level of Quantum Measurement and Control

Project set 3 requirements: Understanding of and comfort with Quantum mechanics at the level of CMP1 (the one which Shenoy takes, not SSP), maybe CMP2

The project will start after 15Dec/1Jan Project will take 4-8 months depending on how the project evolves Depending on how the project goes, we might call in other profs to (co-)supervise the project If interested, just drop an email from you iisc id to shawalda@ist.ac.at with the subject “Ion Traps Project” and in the main body please just mention which year you are in and which project you are interested in. Please don’t attach a CV or write a long email describing your inspiration to ask for this project. For any questions, send an email to the same email id with subject “Question: Ion Traps Project” and describe your question, and I will try to answer it as soon as possible. Responses would be slow on weekends, but on weekdays, I will attempt to answer any email sent before 1PM IST on the same day.
