What you will do:
You will join a growing international team building quantum computers based on superconducting qubits.
You will drive research in one or more of the following areas:
o Fluxonium and other novel qubit types: design, fabrication and control of alternative qubits for higher noise protection.o Connectivity: novel long-range coupling architectures beyond nearest-neighbor layouts for denser, more flexible qubit connectivity.o Extended QEC codes: experimental realization of quantum error correction codes that exploit enhanced connectivity.o Nanotechnology: novel materials, fabrication processes and 3D integration methods for higher coherence and reproducibility.o Control and Readout optimization: improved readout schemes, multi-qubit gates, calibration and benchmarking as well as new methods for identifying and mitigating two-level system (TLS) and other types of noise. o Transduction: coherent microwave-to-optical conversion to network superconducting quantum processors.
You will work at the fundamental interface of sciene and technologydevelopment, collaborating closely with partners from universities, research institutes and start-ups.
You will publish your results, present them at international conferences and workshops, and help communicate quantum technology to the public.
What you bring:
You hold a PhD degree in physics, materials science, electrical engineering or a related field.
You enjoy being a member of a world-leading academic team to explore novel, cutting-edge technologies together with partners from universities, research institutes, start-ups and industries.
You work independently, take ownership of your projects, and bring creative, technology-driven ideas to a collaborative team, where you motivate others, coordinate shared goals, and take the lead when needed.
You have excellent skills in microwave measurement, circuit design and/or micro- and nanofabrication – and you enjoy pushing technology to its limits to build high-quality, scalable quantum processors.
Ideally, you have experience in quantum error correction concepts.
You are familiar with cryogenic setups and the operation of dilution refrigerators.
You have skills in programming, experience with AI, design software
You communicate clearly and write well in English.
