Postdoc: Quantum Electron Qubit Designer & Fabricator

argonne; Lemont (IL); On-site; USD 73,000 - 121,000; Full time

Job summary

Argonne National Laboratory's Center for Nanoscale Materials seeks postdoctoral researchers to advance single-electron on solid neon qubit technology. You will design, fabricate in CNM cleanroom, and characterize qubit devices in CNM labs, collaborating with CNM and Argonne scientists and external partners.

The role emphasizes experimental physics, nanofabrication, and quantum information science, with opportunities to perform local quantum experiments and contribute to high-fidelity two-qubit

Qualifications

• PhD (or soon-to-be) in experimental physics or engineering with strong hands-on skills.
• Experience in nanofabrication and quantum information science is preferred.
• Ability to communicate clearly and work well in a team environment.

Responsibilities

• Design single-electron qubit devices for solid neon platforms.
• Fabricate devices in the CNM cleanroom and characterize them in CNM labs.
• Collaborate with CNM/Argonne scientists and external partners on experiments.
• Study quantum physics and perform local quantum experiments.
• Contribute to development of high-fidelity two-qubit gates.
