Job summary

ETH Zurich's Atom Quantum Processing group seeks a motivated Doctoral Candidate to help build a new lab for laser cooling, trapping, and imaging ultracold rubidium atoms. You will contribute to experimental setup, ARTIQ control, and collisional quantum processing concepts in a collaborative international team at Hönggerberg, Zurich.

The project offers training in AMO and quantum optics, with opportunities to present at conferences and co-supervise student projects.

Qualifications

You should hold (or be close to completing) an MSc degree in physics, quantum engineering, electrical engineering, or closely related discipline.
Strong motivation to build a quantum computer from scratch.
Excellent spoken and written English.
Willingness to work in an international and diverse team.

Responsibilities

Building up the AQP team in a collaborative, enthusiastic, and communicative environment.
Setting up laser system for laser cooling, trapping, and imaging of rubidium-85 atoms.
Engineering and assembling UHV system with excellent optical access for the quantum processor.
Programming and integrating experimental control hardware (ARTIQ) for running quantum information experiments.
Investigating novel schemes for quantum information processing based on collisional interactions, including theoretical calculations and numerical simulations.
Preseting your results at scientific conferences and publishing your work.
