Job description
Experimental research focuses on creation, manipulation of entangled photonic states and entanglement manipulation and characterization. It includes fundamental properties of communication channels enabling quantum communication; loss and decoherence in quantum state transfer; entanglement distribution over channels of various physical implementations; and fundamental and technological performance limitations of quantum networks.
Theoretical research aims at functionalities of quantum networks for Army‑relevant operations that are unattainable by classical systems. It includes theories and models aimed at understanding quantum‑network phenomena, network protocols, algorithms and architectures; techniques and methods that enable the design and characterization of quantum networks; managing protocols for efficient entanglement routing, control and manipulation; and defining and characterizing network metrics.

The Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD) conducts research in a variety of disciplines relevant to achieving and implementing the digital battlefield. Problems address the sensing, distribution, analysis, and display of information in the modern battle space. CISD research focuses on four major areas: communications, atmospheric modeling, battlefield visualization, and computing.
The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL‑RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory help shape and execute the Army’s program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
