Senior Postdoc: Integrated SNSPDs for Quantum Photonics

KU – SCIENCE – NBI, Blegdamsvej; København; On-site; DKK 600,000 - 800,000; Full time

Job summary

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, is expanding its international team to advance quantum computing. The position focuses on developing integrated SNSPDs embedded in photonic circuits for processing photons from silicon quantum emitters.

You will work with the Photonic Control & Readout team and collaborate with Theory, Simulation and Materials Engineering teams, supervise students, and help procure and operate

Qualifications

• PhD with postdoc experience in experimental physics, engineering, nanotechnologies, or related.
• Experience with SNSPDs fabrication and characterisation, quantum photonics, electronics, and cryogenic systems.
• Experience with control software and data logging – preferably in python.
• Good communication skills and a structured approach to work.

Responsibilities

• Taking the leading role in developing and integrating SNSPDs into our photonic circuits and establishing the electrical control circuit.
• Structuring the efforts on multiple projects, integrating experimental results in our database, and providing feedback to collaborating teams.
• Contributing to the other projects within the Photonics team. The projects span single photon sources and optical components like switches, cavities, etc.
• Teaching and supervision of students.
• Procurement, maintenance, and operation of scientific equipment.
