Theoretical Quantum Sensing & Mechanics Postdoc

TU Delft; Delft; On-site; EUR 48,000 - 64,000; Full time

Job summary

TU Delft invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to develop and lead analytical and numerical research on quantum dynamics of mechanical systems and their interactions with complex environments.

You will formulate new approaches to quantum control, noise mitigation, and quantum sensing, and help define limits of laboratory-scale experiments in foundational physics. The role integrates with the new theory group in the Department of Quantum Nanoscience.

Qualifications

• PhD in Physics or closely related discipline by start of appointment
• Expertise in one or more: quantum optics, quantum technologies, quantum information, quantum sensing, or related fields
• Experience developing analytical and numerical models of quantum systems
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Excellent communication skills
• Interest in mentoring students and contributing to a growing research group

Responsibilities

• Develop and lead analytical and numerical research on the quantum dynamics of mechanical systems and their interactions with complex environments
• Formulate and investigate new approaches to quantum control, noise mitigation and quantum sensing
• Establish fundamental limits for preparation, manipulation and certification of quantum states in realistic experiments
• Collaborate within the theory group and mentor students to support growth and independence
