PhD scholarship in Experimental Quantum-Optical Characterization of Quantum Light Sources - DTU Electro

Job description

Are you eager to contribute to the development of tomorrow’s quantum technologies? We are searching for a talented and motivated PhD candidate to develop and characterize novel sources of quantum light for optical quantum computers. The project takes place in the Quantum Light Sources group at DTU Electro, where we design, model, fabricate and test sources of single photons or entangled photon pairs. These are essential components for optical quantum computers and quantum networks, where one bit of information is encoded in the quantum state of a single photon. You will be part of a team of 10-12 people between senior staff, PostDocs and PhD/Master students that are trying to establish the indispensable building blocks for the quantum technology of tomorrow. Responsibilities and qualifications: You overall focus will be to fabricate single-photon emitters and characterize them in our quantum-optical laboratory. You will work with quantum emitters in layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as WSe2 and MoTe2, and on semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) of the III-V group, such as GaAs and InGaAs. The primary tasks will be to: Our quantum optics laboratory has state-of-the-a...
