PhD candidate (m/f/d) in Photonic Quantum Computing

As a PhD can­di­da­te in Pho­to­nic Quantum Com­pu­ting at Q.ANT, you will per­form stu­dies on uni­ver­sal approa­ches for pho­to­nic quantum com­pu­ting. You will focus on inves­ti­ga­ting new ways to pre­pa­re high-fide­li­ty resour­ce sta­tes requi­red for uni­ver­sal quantum com­pu­ting. Wit­hin the frame­work of a public rese­arch pro­ject, you will be joint­ly super­vi­sed in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with a lea­ding-edge pro­fes­sor at a renow­ned rese­arch uni­ver­si­ty (Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Den­mark). This will allow you to build up expe­ri­ence in both the uni­ver­si­ty- and indus­try-based quantum technology research. 

Loca­ti­on: Stuttgart 

A com­ple­te app­li­ca­ti­on con­sists of a cover let­ter (moti­va­ti­on, max. one page), a CV and your diplomas.

Your tasks

  • Car­ry out rese­arch as well as requi­red tea­ching acti­vi­ties towards the doc­to­ral award 
  • Build up new expe­ri­ments in an optics labo­ra­to­ry to find the most sui­ta­ble approa­ches for high-fide­li­ty resour­ce sta­te generation 
  • Ana­ly­ze the mea­su­re­ment data and pre­sent it graphically 
  • Inter­pret your results and com­pa­re them to the expec­ta­ti­ons from simu­la­ti­ons and theory 
  • Crea­te new know­ledge and docu­ment it in your thesis 
  • Stay curious and keep up to date with the exci­ting cur­rent techno­logical developments 

Your profile

  • Master’s degree in phy­sics, or rela­ted rele­vant field 
  • Hands-on working expe­ri­ence in an optics laboratory 
  • Know­ledge in quantum mecha­nics, quantum optics or non-line­ar optics 
  • Know­ledge of the dif­fe­rent approa­ches to uni­ver­sal quantum computing 
  • Back­ground know­ledge of electronics 
  • Pro­gramming skills in Python and expe­ri­ence with quantum pro­gramming languages 
  • Ana­ly­tic, crea­ti­ve, and team-oriented way of working in a dyna­mic start-up environment 
  • Flu­en­cy in Eng­lish, both writ­ten and spoken 

Your benefits

  • In our team-oriented working atmo­s­phe­re, you have fle­xi­ble opti­ons for working hours and can thus com­bi­ne your job and free time in the best pos­si­ble way. 
  • The inter­disciplinary team sup­ports you in your pro­fes­sio­nal and per­so­nal fur­ther education. 
  • Insight into the development of high-tech products.
