PhD in Quantum Computing: Collisional Quantum Processor

ETH Zürich; Zürich; Vor Ort; CHF 65.000 - 90.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

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.

Qualifikationen

• 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.

Aufgaben

• 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.
