PhD in Quantum Nanosystems: Torsional Resonators

TU Delft; Delft; On-site; EUR 36,000 - 45,000; Full time

Job summary

TU Delft is seeking a PhD candidate to design, fabricate and measure nanomechanical resonators coupled to superconducting circuits. The goal is to explore the quantum behaviour of heavy, macroscopic objects using a flux-coupled approach within the Kavli Nanolab in Delft.

You will work in the SteeleLab, collaborating with academic staff, PhD students and postdocs, and engage in quantum measurements and control with superconducting qubits.

Qualifications

• A MSc in physics or related field; strong motivation for quantum experiments.
• Hands-on experience with nanofabrication and quantum devices preferred.
• Strong problem-solving and teamwork abilities.

Responsibilities

• Design, fabricate, and measure nanomechanical resonators coupled to superconducting circuits.
• Investigate quantum control of heavy objects and build quantum superpositions.
• Collaborate with the SteeleLab team and other groups on experimental and theoretical work.
• Communicate results and contribute to the TU Delft Quantum Nanoscience research program.
