PhD: Quantum SiC Networks & Nano-Photonic Devices

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

Benefits offered by this job

Relocation support

Dual Career Programme

Job summary

TU Delft researchers invite PhD candidates to join the Taminiau lab working on quantum networks using spin defects in silicon carbide (SiC). The role spans design and fabrication of nano-photonic SiC devices and quantum optics experiments for scalable quantum networks.

We offer a structured 4-year program with staged contracts, relocation support, and a supportive, international environment. The TU Delft Graduate School provides mentoring and training across transferable and technical skills.

Qualifications

• You have a MSc in science in (applied) physics, quantum technologies, material science, or a related field.
• You are highly motivated to work on the nano fabrication and characterization of quantum devices for quantum networks.
• Relevant experience in device fabrication, nanophotonics and/or experimental quantum physics (e.g. with spins or superconducting systems) are appreciated but not essential.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on quantum networks using SiC devices and nano-photonic structures.
• Collaborate with scientists to design, fabricate, and test quantum devices for entanglement and spin-qubit control.
• Participate in experiments for scalable quantum networks and related quantum optics studies.
