PhD positions on integrated quantum photonics at QuTech Job description Are you motivated to discover the qubits that build the quantum information processing machines of the future? Do you want to embed qubits in scalable systems and help bring quantum technology to real-world applications? We are seeking PhD's researchers to work at the interface between color center physics and integrated photonics! Color centers have proven to be one of the most fruitful platforms in the quantum information era, enabling breakthroughs such as memory-enhanced quantum communication, entanglement-based quantum networks, long-term quantum information storage, and complex quantum simulations. While these demonstrations point to a wide range of applications, critical challenges regarding color center physics and their large-scale integration remain untackled. As a PhD student in the Errando-Herranz’s group, you will work towards addressing the main challenges in the field by working on experiments involving integrated photonics and color center qubits. You will focus on device design and characterization, delving into the complex physics of color centers, and developing technology based on integrated photonic circuits for quantum applications. PhD topics include: Superconducting single-photon detectors on integrated photonic circuits. Diamond/SiC color centers on large-scale photonics. Silicon color center physics and applications. You will be part of a team of talented PhD students and collaborate with top European and international teams. You will also have full access to the group's state-of-the-art measurement setups for magneto-optic spectroscopy at room and cryogenic temperatures down to 40 mK. Requirements Master degree in physics, electrical or mechanical engineering, or a related field. Theoretical and/or experimental background in optics, integrated photonics, and/or quantum technologies. Excellent written and oral communication skills in English. Highly motivated for lab work in experimental physics and engineering. Demonstrated self-drive, scientific curiosity, and team worker attitude. Will make you stand out: Demonstrated experimental skills in the fields of integrated photonics, quantum emitters, superconducting detectors, or quantum integrated photonics. Expertise in color center or atomic physics research. Experience with cryogenic measurements. We welcome people of all genders and social and cultural backgrounds. If you have ever felt that a place like this was not “for people like you,” we would especially like to hear from you!
