Job summary

TU Delft's Department of Quantum Nanoscience invites PhD candidates to join Groeblacher Lab to develop highly coherent single photon emitters using erbium ions in solid-state crystals, integrated with photonic crystal cavities.

The role covers learning microfabrication, quantum optics, cryogenics and finite element simulations, supervising Master students, and advancing scalable quantum networks. A Masters in applied physics or engineering and deep quantum physics knowledge are required.

Qualifications

• Masters or equivalent in (applied) physics or engineering
• Deep understanding of quantum physics
• Curious and self-motivated
• Hands on experience with quantum optics experiments
• Experience with finite-element simulations
• Prior experience in nanofabrication and cryogenics

Responsibilities

• Learn microfabrication, quantum optics and cryogenics techniques
• Understand single-photon emitters and rare-earth ion physics
• Collaborate with Groeblacher Lab and TU Delft Quantum Nanoscience
• Supervise Master students and evolve into an independent scientist
